find and copy string in a file
Hello there
I need to find a string in an file, and then copy to a new file from the previous 6 lines to 41 lines after the string.
So, what i need to do , and just don't know how, is to find the string and copy 48 lines where the string would be in the 7th line.
I don't know if i can do it with "sed", but i've readed the man in my hp-ux, and all the threads i could find about manipulating files, and got a lot confused.
Thanks for any help.

ppmtomitsu

ppmtomitsu(1)						      General Commands Manual						     ppmtomitsu(1)

NAME

       ppmtomitsu - convert a portable pixmap to a Mitsubishi S340-10 file

SYNOPSIS

       ppmtomitsu [-sharpness val] [-enlarge val] [-media string] [-copy val] [-dpi300] [-tiny] [ppmfile]

DESCRIPTION

       Reads  a  portable  pixmap as input and converts it into a format suitable to be printed by a Mitsubishi S340-10 printer, or any other Mit-
       subishi color sublimation printer.

       The Mitsubishi S340-10 Color Sublimation printer supports 24bit color.  Images of the available sizes take so long to transfer  that  there
       is a fast method, employing a lookuptable, that ppmtomitsu will use if there is a maximum of 256 colors in the pixmap.  ppmtomitsu will try
       to position your image to the center of the paper, and will rotate your image for you if xsize is larger than  ysize.   If  your  image	is
       larger  than  the  media allows, ppmtomitsu will quit with an error message. (We decided that the media were too expensive to have careless
       users produce misprints.)  Once data transmission has started, the job can't be stopped in a sane way without resetting the  printer.   The
       printer	understands  putting  together images in the printers memory; ppmtomitsu doesn't utilize this as pnmcat etc provide the same func-
       tionality and let you view the result on-screen, too.  The S340-10 is the lowest common denominator printer; for higher resolution printers
       there's	the dpi300 option. The other printers also support higher values for enlarge eg, but I don't think that's essential enough to war-
       rant a change in the program.

       -sharpness 1-4
	       'sharpness' designation. Default is to use the current sharpness.

       -enlarge 1-3
	      Enlarge by a factor; Default is 1 (no enlarge)

       -media A, A4, AS, A4S
	      Designate the media you're using. Default is 1184 x 1350, which will fit on any media. A is 1216 x 1350, A4 is 1184 x  1452,  AS	is
	      1216  x  1650  and  A4S is 1184 x 1754. A warning: If you specify a different media than the printer currently has, the printer will
	      wait until you put in the correct media or switch it off.

       -copy 1-9
	      The number of copies to produce. Default is 1.

       -dpi300
	      Double the number of allowed pixels for a S3600-30 Printer in S340-10 compatibility mode. (The S3600-30 has 300 dpi).

       -tiny  Memory-safing, but always slow. The printer will get the data line-by-line in 24bit. It's probably a good idea to use this  if  your
	      machine starts paging a lot without this option.
