Extract 10th line in the file
Hi,

I need to search for a word in a file and need to extract exactly 10th line before and after that search string.

Awaiting your earlier updates. Thanks in advance.

Try this:

Code:
awk '/searchstring/{for(i=0;i<10;i++)print a[(i+NR)%10];print;for(i=0;i<10;i++){getline;print}}{a[NR%10]=$0}' filename


cheers,
