Full Discussion: Returning two lines if they both match strings
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Returning two lines if they both match strings Post 302865419 by CarloM on Friday 18th of October 2013 11:35:16 AM

Code:
$ awk '{if ((lastword=="Bill") && ($1=="Jones")) {print lastline ORS $0} lastword=$1; lastline=$0}' file
Bill Blue
Jones Red

EDIT: Actually, slightly neater (and conforming more closely to your requirements):
Code:
awk '{if ((lastline ~ /^Bill/) && ($0 ~ /^Jones/)) {print lastline ORS $0} lastline=$0}' file
