Call Answered - DN:8753101 CLID:5164665761 PI:83


If I do a grep 91030 logxx, I will get the following:

Wed Feb 2 07:44:11 <vsm> 91030 Line 5 Severity 1 Vps 6

However, what I really want are BOTH lines. Is there a way to grep and have it return both lines??

Thanks,

-cd
Please try:

grep -A1 91030 logxx

generic:

grep -A1 PATTERN [FILE...]

ZGREP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...] zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...] DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1). The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern argument. zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1). EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0. SEE ALSO
egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1) AUTHORS
