Jared, please post your data samples in code tags.
By the way I don't see string: Hardware anywhere in the data sample you posted. So if you search for string: Hardware using awk, it will print only that particular line.

7

so can you tell me if this is even posisble how to see line below hardware uisng awk?

8

Yes, this is possible. If you want just the next line, you can use getline, E.g.

# cat infile
Hardware
Line no: 1
Line no: 2
Line no: 3

# awk '/Hardware/ { print; getline; print; } ' infile
Hardware
Line no: 1

But if you want a range of line to be printed, then you have to specify that.

Jared.

Please watch this video on how to use code tags.

The code tag button has changed and looks different in the video, but it's in the same place, next to the quote tag:

The code tag button now looks like:

And then reread the rules you agreed to when you registered, and then I will unlock your account.

Thank you.
