Operating Systems Solaris grep and display few lines before and after Post 302098992 by Ygor on Thursday 7th of December 2006 07:38:57 PM

Try...
Code:
nawk 'c-->0;$0~s{if(b)for(c=b+1;c>1;c--)print r[(NR-c+1)%b];print;c=a}b{r[NR%b]=$0}' b=2 a=4 s="string" file1

...where "b" and "a" are the number of lines to print before and after string "s".

---edit----

It's not the best generic solution because it can't handle the case if the search string is repeated in the "before" lines.

A better way...
Code:
nawk '$0~s{for(c=NR-b;c<=NR+a;c++)r[c]=1}{q[NR]=$0}END{for(c=1;c<=NR;c++)if(r[c])print q[c]}' b=2 a=4 s="string" file1

...where "b" and "a" are the number of lines to print before and after string "s".

NAME
XML::LibXML::NodeList - a list of XML document nodes DESCRIPTION
An XML::LibXML::NodeList object contains an ordered list of nodes, as detailed by the W3C DOM documentation of Node Lists. SYNOPSIS
my $results = $dom->findnodes('//somepath'); foreach my $context ($results->get_nodelist) { my $newresults = $context->findnodes('./other/element'); ... } API
new(@nodes) You will almost never have to create a new NodeList object, as it is all done for you by XPath. get_nodelist() Returns a list of nodes, the contents of the node list, as a perl list. string_value() Returns the string-value of the first node in the list. See the XPath specification for what "string-value" means. to_literal() Returns the concatenation of all the string-values of all the nodes in the list. get_node($pos) Returns the node at $pos. The node position in XPath is based at 1, not 0. size() Returns the number of nodes in the NodeList. pop() Equivalent to perl's pop function. push(@nodes) Equivalent to perl's push function. append($nodelist) Given a nodelist, appends the list of nodes in $nodelist to the end of the current list. shift() Equivalent to perl's shift function. unshift(@nodes) Equivalent to perl's unshift function. prepend($nodelist) Given a nodelist, prepends the list of nodes in $nodelist to the front of the current list. map($coderef) Equivalent to perl's map function. grep($coderef) Equivalent to perl's grep function. sort($coderef) Equivalent to perl's sort function. Caveat: Perl's magic $a and $b variables are not available in $coderef. Instead the two terms are passed to the coderef as arguments. reverse() Equivalent to perl's reverse function. foreach($coderef) Inspired by perl's foreach loop. Executes the coderef on each item in the list. Similar to "map", but instead of returning the list of values returned by $coderef, returns the original NodeList. reduce($coderef, $init) Equivalent to List::Util's reduce function. $init is optional and provides an initial value for the reduction. Caveat: Perl's magic $a and $b variables are not available in $coderef. Instead the two terms are passed to the coderef as arguments. perl v5.14.2 2012-06-20 XML::LibXML::NodeList(3pm)
