[buug] Grep command

[Clarke, John]

Ha all,
I want to grab data from either side of a matched criteria from grep.
Any one got any other ideas of a command and if it does work please tell
me what OS and version and what shell.  Also if anyone does do this how
do you just get lines below or lines above the match rather than both.

This is what I am trying to do

Inputfile
A
B
C
D
E
F
G

Grep  -2 'D' inputfile
Expected result
 
B
C
D
E
F

Cheers,
John
