When searching for "text" in a file,
I would like to see the line containing "text"
and the line preceeding
and the line after
So I would like a 3 line output for each line matched by grep
Is there a quick way to accomplish this?
Example--

FILE.DAT contains

abcdef
123456789
xyz
hijklmnop
987654321

I would like the search for "xyz" to yield results such as:

FILE.DAT:2: 123456789
FILE.DAT:3: xyz
FILE.DAT:4: hijklmnop

Any suggestions?
