Please help on grepping
Hi All,
I have a log file and I want to parse the logfile with a script.A sample text is shown below:

I would grep on "return code " on this file. Any idea how the lines above and below the grep patterns could also be extracted.

Thanks!

Code:
The runLoggingInstall return code is 0

If you have GNU grep:
Code:
grep -A1 -B1 'return code' logilfe

Tools Kind of strange, but it looks like it works
The following solution (albeit not pretty) relies on substituting characters and temporarily removing new-line characters so as to facilitate the grep command. Once the grep is executed, then the data is re-expanded.


Code:
> cat logfile | sed "s/^The/~The/" | tr "\n" "+" | tr "~" "\n" | grep "return code is 1" | tr "+" "\n"
The jboss unzip return code is 1
JBOSS_HOME: /opt/coreservices/jboss-4.0.3SP1

Code:
> cat logfile | sed "s/^The/~The/" | tr "\n" "+" | tr "~" "\n" | grep "return code is 0" | tr "+" "\n"
The runLoggingInstall return code is 0
