How to print line if two lines above it matches patterns.?
Hi,
I could only find examples to print line before/after a match, but I'd need to print line after two separate lines matching.
E.g.: From the below log entry, I would need to print out the 1234. This is from a huge log file, that has a lot of entries with "CLIENT" and "No" entries (+ other messages), and I need to print the client number only if the "CLIENT" and "No" tags are in consecutive lines as in the below example.
Hi all,
I got several lines line this
a b c d e 1 e
a 1 c d e 3 f
a b c 1 e 8 h
a b c d e 1 w
a 1 c d e 2 w
a b c d e 1 t
a b c d e 7 4
How can I print the line if 1 is the field one before the last field?
Basicly this 2 field ?
a b c d e 1 e
a b c d e 1 t

Good day,
I have a list of regular expressions in file1. For each match in file2, print the containing line and the line after.

I have a file and when I match the word "initiators" in the first column I need to be able to print the rest of the columns in that row. This is fine for the most part but on occasion the "initiators" line gets wrapped to the next line. Here is a sample of the file.

grep
GREP(1) General Commands Manual GREP(1)NAME
grep - search a file for a pattern
SYNOPSIS
grep [ option ... ] pattern [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Grep searches the input files (standard input default) for lines (with newlines excluded) that match the pattern, a regular expression as
defined in regexp(6). Normally, each line matching the pattern is `selected', and each selected line is copied to the standard output.
The options are
-c Print only a count of matching lines.
-h Do not print file name tags (headers) with output lines.
-i Ignore alphabetic case distinctions. The implementation folds into lower case all letters in the pattern and input before interpre-
tation. Matched lines are printed in their original form.
-l (ell) Print the names of files with selected lines; don't print the lines.
-L Print the names of files with no selected lines; the converse of -l.
-n Mark each printed line with its line number counted in its file.
-s Produce no output, but return status.
-v Reverse: print lines that do not match the pattern.
Output lines are tagged by file name when there is more than one input file. (To force this tagging, include /dev/null as a file name
argument.)
Care should be taken when using the shell metacharacters $*[^|()= and newline in pattern; it is safest to enclose the entire expression in
single quotes '...'.

Exit status is null if any lines are selected, or non-null when no lines are selected or an error occurs.
