printing lines to a file from a particular string
Hi,
A very Good Evening to All,
I am writing a script for my application. I have a file with 1000 lines. Among that 1000 lines i am searching for a particular string. And from that string i need to pull all the data in to a seperate file.

For example the contents of my file is as below.

1. raju
2. raju
3. raju
4. Wed Mar 16 20:15:22 2005
5. hello
6. i am very good person.
7. Wed Mar 16 20:15:22 2005
8. hello
9. Hi
10. Wed Mar 17 20:15:22 2005
11. hello
12. hi.

There will be no line numbers in my file i have give just for our reference.
Now i am searching for a string using the below command.

grep "Wed Mar 16.*2005" raju.log | head -1. So the command output will be the 4th line. So from now from the 4th line i need to pull all the lines from 5 to 12 in to file.

Please let me know how to achieve this.

Thanks,
Raju
