printing the next line too??

AndyA · #1 (**permalink**) 01-31-2008

Hi, I'm trying to get awk to print every line ending with a colon along with the next line. I have a file like:

Blah Blah a bunch of words, the money things are as follows:
Spokane 340,087, 000 3.24500% January 23, 2008

does anyone have any advice on this matter? I'm a bit stumped...

Thanks

I forgot to mention that I only want to print the next line if it contains numbers.

Thanks again.

A SED version of the same

Code:

$ sed -n '/:$/{p;n;p;}' lines.out

//Jadu

or better yet:

Code:

sed -n '/:$/ {N; /[0-9]/ p;}' file
