Hi,

is it possible to grep a pattern that will include the "n" lines before and after the line where the pattern have been found?

e.g.

#this contains the test.file
line1
line2
line3
line4
line5

then a grep command to search the word "line3"
and the output should be 1 (or n) line before that line and 1 (or n) line "after" that line.

dessired output of the grep command

line2
line3
line4


Thanks in advance.
