Unix shell script (grep -A 6 -B 2 "ORA-" filename

BACKGROUND:

I am using Solaris 10. Some of my boxes have gnu grep and I can use -A and -B flags on those. However, the solaris flavor of grep won't use the flags -A or -B. And some of my boxes won't be getting gnu grep.

Should I try using perl, awk, or sed?

Actual PROBLEM: I am grepping the oracle_alert.log for "ORA-". This solution means that I have to go read the alert.log manually. I would like to be able to cut out the 2 lines preceding and 6 lines following each (distinct) "ORA-" error message.

Thanks for your help.

Wayne
