Printing all lines before a specific string and a custom message 2 lines after

Hello all,

I need to print all the lines before a specific string and print a custom message 2 lines after that.

So far I have managed to print everything up the string, inclusively, but I can't figure out how to print the 2 lines after that and the custom message.

My code thus far is:
Code:
'{a[NR]=$0} ($3 ~ "Bob") {for(x=1; x<=$1; x++) {print a[x]}}'

My data is similar to the following:
Code:
Don|Joe|Lue
Mary|Elane|Bob
David|Mark|Steven
John|Jim|William
Sal|Jose|Michael

I would like to get the following result once "Bob" is matched:
Code:
Don|Joe|Lue
Mary|Elane|Bob
David|Mark|Steven
John|Jim|William
STOPPING HERE          #This being the custom message

Thanks in advance

print(9E)							Driver Entry Points							 print(9E)

NAME
print - display a driver message on system console SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/errno.h> #include <sys/ddi.h> #include <sys/sunddi.h> int prefixprint(dev_t dev, char *str); INTERFACE LEVEL
Architecture independent level 1 (DDI/DKI). This entry point is required for block devices. PARAMETERS
dev Device number. str Pointer to a character string describing the problem. DESCRIPTION
The print() routine is called by the kernel when it has detected an exceptional condition (such as out of space) in the device. To display the message on the console, the driver should use the cmn_err(9F) kernel function. The driver should print the message along with any driver specific information. RETURN VALUES
The print() routine should return 0 for success, or the appropriate error number. The print routine can fail if the driver implemented a non-standard print() routine that attempted to perform error logging, but was unable to complete the logging for whatever reason. SEE ALSO
