Sorry, your question is not clear.

Did you mean from the file

Code:
awk ' NR == 3 { print }' filename
or
from the output ?

From the same file I need to grep for "BEGIN DSJOB" and get the second line from that line

Ex output:

DateModified "2008-10-08"
DateModified "2008-10-05"
....

Thanks

You can do this simply enough with grep:

$ grep -A 2 '^BEGIN DSJOB' datafile | grep DateMod
