Not a CentOS specific question, although I am running grep on CentOS 4.3 but how would you grep out a series of lines in a file starting at a specific point. For instance, if I have a file named foo and I want to grep out the next 5 lines after the first and only instance of the string "bar" how could I pull that off? Thanks so much.
I know I'm late on this and there have been many fine replies. I prefer csplit for tasks like this. As always with *IX, many ways to skin the cat.
