Bash split file on double newline

Question

I have some files with content that change from file to file. Each file have 2 sections of lines separated by a blank line. I never know how many lines or characters there are in either section.

The file can look something like this.

This is a file
with some text

and some more text

This code only gives the first line from each section.

awk 'BEGIN {RS="\n\n"; FS="\n";} {print $1 }' file

I need each section split up to work with.

Answer 1
