I NEED to grep for patter file3 and display all lines below the pattern. do we have an option to get this data. Let me know if you require any additional information on the same.

try
Code:
nawk '{A[++c] = $0} END { for ( i = 1; i <=c; i++ ) {if(A[i] ~ "file3") {d++} { if ( d  == 1) print A[i+1]}}}' filename

Also
Code:
awk '/file3/{p++;next} p==1' filename
