grep for pattern get the next line

[dwcasey]

This is on AIX, so I don't have GNU grep. I need to search for differing application versions. Application name is on one line, version is on the next. Something like:

aa This is an application to do stuff
aix Version: 11.22.33.44

There is some unique data on the application line, so I can grep it out, but I need to add the line after. Actually, all I need is the version number line, just using the application name to find it.

I also have been looking at piping my output to awk '/application name/' and then trying to get the next line.

ok, pretty sad, but I'm replying to my own post. if someone comes up with other ways to do this, I would be interested.

I ended up piping my out to awk:

awk '/Application Name/{getline;print}'

And I only get the line with the application version.
