<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">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.</FONT></P>
