Many thanks,

That was there already in the command I had posted! Smilie

Code:
awk ' $0 ~ "^Grid" { print > "outputfile.txt"; getline; getline; print > "outputfile.txt" }' inputfile.txt

Now I had modified the command for the filenames.

Before the command is executed,
it assumes your input file name is inputfile.txt ( or based on the input file name change the inputfile given to the command )
output of the command will be available in the file named outputfile.txt


Sorry If I have not made it clear! Smilie
