hi All,

I have one file:
gain an overview. sue the swquesces. capture
333.captured
tesh the values in the history.
There may be something. caputure
111.done
Then there is
nothing everything is going on.
Again there is. capture
222.ok

I want the output as :
333.captured
111.done
222.ok

I can use capture here. I want to redirect the next line after the word capture.
could anyone have any suggestion or sample code!!!!

Thanks in advance.

the regex will grab "captured" as well.

@OP
Code:
# perl -ne 'if (m/capture(?!d)/){$m=<>;print $m}' file
333.captured
111.done
222.ok

that's correct - the OP was not clear on the definition of the 'word'.
Would capture's be considered a 'word'?

actually in his first post, he stated his required output format. and i think on of the sample lines, he spelt wrongly "caputure" should be "capture"

Code:
 sed -n '/capture/ {
        n
        p
        }' yourfile

Code:
awk 'p && p--;/\<capture\>/{p=1;next}' filename
