Hello ajp7701,

I can see you said you are looking for exact string sysALive, but you showed in output as 3 when it comes sysAlive, so keeping this in mind and considering that it is not a typo. Following may help you then.
Code:
 awk '($0 ~ /sysA[lL]ive/){A++;print $0 OFS A;next} 1' Input_file

Output will be as follows.
Code:
lineAAA a b c d x
lineBBB CCC DDD
lineEEE XYZ
this line contains the word sysALive 1
lineFFF aaa bbb ccc
lineGGG nnn nnn jjj
this line contains the word sysALive 2
lineHHH III J k L M n
line OOOPPPOOO
this line contains the word sysAlive 3
line thats enuff

Thanks,
R. Singh

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
