Can grep show the matching lines and the next N lines after a match?
If I'm just inspecting a file I use less and the "/" command to search up to the next occurrence of a regular expression. Use the "?" command to search backwards. See the man page for less for lots more options.
Thanks, Kenneth. I am familiar with the VIM keybindingsin less and man. I need something scriptable though.
