Pattern Matching and lines after that

I have a huge file and every paragraph has a date. But I want to retrieve the paras for the last two days only. So I can grep and findout the linenum for the first line since yesterday. Now I want to display everything after that line. And I am trying to do this inside a script so the linenum is a variable.
How can I do this. Or is there a way in GREP to find the first match for the pattern and then display the rest of the lines. This script is going to be for a heterogenous environment so if the solution is not applicable to a particular OS then I cannot use it.
