Pull two lines with script 1

[jestrada101]

How can I pull two lines with a script based on a grep?

For example, my file will have multiple lines like teh following... in random places... I want to pull "TEST" and the number below it.. how can I do that?

TEST
343000
Randome info...
TEST
454646
More Random info..
TEST
12312312

Hi

-A NUM, --after-context=NUM Print NUM lines of trailing context after matching lines.

grep -A 1 TEST

Another way:
awk '/TEST/{print;getline;print}' /path/to/input

Hope This Helps, PH.

Thanks.. the "awk" command worked. grep -A was not an option with my grep on a Sun box.

Thanks!

Hi

Sun ? Then neither this will work :

sed -n '/TEST/{p;n;p}' /path/to/input
