--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I m using the below command to grep a pattern :
cat Archiver* | grep '2008-10-14' | grep 'ERROR' | grep 'CleanLPDataMessage: Missing Intervals'

How to get even lines which are immediately below the grep pattern

2008-10-14 10:35:50,384 [Thread-6] INFO - LPBatch: [null, 1-SR0CU, null, DC:Tue Oct 14 15:35:50 UTC 2008, null, null, Mon Oct 13 10:45:00 CDT 2008, Mon Oct 13 15:45:00 UTC 2008,

2008-10-14 10:35:50,391 [Thread-6] INFO - Number of Intervals Not Inserted: 62 / 95


I mean to say i need a command that will give me next 2 lines immediately after the grep pattern.
when i grep ''2008-10-14' | grep 'ERROR' | grep 'CleanLPDataMessage: Missing Intervals' . it should return this as well as next 4 lines and so on till it finishes

The -A and -B options are not supported by all versions of grep.
