Please help on grepping

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi All,
I have a log file and I want to parse the logfile with a script.A sample text is shown below:

I would grep on "return code " on this file. Any idea how the lines above and below the grep patterns could also be extracted.

Thanks!

If you have GNU grep:

grep -A1 -B1 'return code' logilfe
3

Hey thanks a lot!! It's working like a charm!

The following solution (albeit not pretty) relies on substituting characters and temporarily removing new-line characters so as to facilitate the grep command. Once the grep is executed, then the data is re-expanded.

> cat logfile | sed "s/^The/~The/" | tr "\n" "+" | tr "~" "\n" | grep "return code is 1" | tr "+" "\n"
The jboss unzip return code is 1
JBOSS_HOME: /opt/coreservices/jboss-4.0.3SP1

> cat logfile | sed "s/^The/~The/" | tr "\n" "+" | tr "~" "\n" | grep "return code is 0" | tr "+" "\n"
The runLoggingInstall return code is 0
