search for word and next 30 lines then put in file
Hi,
I am trying to search through a file for a particular word, then once found, I want the search to carry on for another 30 lines and append all this to a new file. For example, I search for the word "test" in hello.txt:
<--some code-->
<--some code-->
<--some code-->
test
<--some more code for 30 more lines-->
So, here I would want the search to find "test" and the next 30 lines, and the append the results to a new file. I know it will be something along the lines of:
cat hello.txt | grep "test" > results.txt
but not sure how to get it to include the other 30 lines...
thanks
