If the line counts are constant you could do the reverse:
grep -B 3 "(E:|D:)" input.txt | grep Shadow
Which would show the 3 lines above a line that has E:\ or D:\ and then only display the lines with the word Shadow.

If the line counts are constant you could do the reverse:
grep -B 3 "(E:|D:)" input.txt | grep Shadow
And being inherently lazy, I would do
grep -B 3 "([ED]:)" input.txt ...<whatever else>
Which would show the 3 lines above a line that has E:\ or D:\ and then only display the lines with the word Shadow.

Now that's cool, each case has to be separate so grep -B 3 "D:" input.txt or even the actual volume string for certainties sake is the ticket!
Thanks Nate and Bill! jlc
