Getting contents of line using a selected one as reference
How do you get the contents of a line directly after a selected one? Also, how about before it? I am using CSH and don't have any GNU products installed.
Input file:
apple
orange
plum
So say I use grep on orange...how do I get plum (this line can be different so I can't just grep plum).
Also, if I want to get the line before orange (apple in this case) how do I do that?
I am thinking this can be done via awk, but I'm not that familar with it.
