print multiple lines with awk
Hi everyone!
I'm not new to Unix, but I've never used awk before.
I tried to look up this information on several sites and forums,
I also looked in the documentation but I haven't found a solution yet.
I would like to print the previous 3 lines before and the following 4 lines after the given pattern, including the line with the pattern.
Could you help me with this issue, please?
Thanks.

ZGREP(1) BSD General Commands Manual ZGREP(1)
NAME
zgrep, zegrep, zfgrep -- print lines matching a pattern in gzip-compressed files
SYNOPSIS
zgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [files ...]
zegrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
zfgrep [grep-flags] [--] pattern [file ...]
DESCRIPTION
zgrep runs grep(1) on files or stdin, if no files argument is given, after decompressing them with zcat(1).
The grep-flags and pattern arguments are passed on to grep(1). If an -e flag is found in the grep-flags, zgrep will not look for a pattern
argument.
zegrep calls egrep(1), while zfgrep calls fgrep(1).
EXIT STATUS
In case of missing arguments or missing pattern, 1 will be returned, otherwise 0.
SEE ALSO
egrep(1), fgrep(1), grep(1), gzip(1), zcat(1)
