search for a regular expression, then grab another line
I have a script where I was searching for a regular expression then grabbing the line right above it. |awk '/regexpr/{print x};{x=$0}' My input file has changed and now I need to grab just the 5th line above the regexpr. Any ideas? For reference sake how do I grab the 5th line below...
