in reply to Re3: Finding and extracting lines of text in thread Finding and extracting lines of text
I really appreciate all of the help. I have been searching the O'Reilly books for some of the basics I must have missed, but no where can I find a reference to my problem. The code presented here has been a great help in finding the first line I am searching. However, I am not sure that I am making my clear. I do need to find the line, but it is the NEXT LINE I need to print. THEN I need to SKIP 2 Lines and print the third. It is the skipping lines part that I am having problems doing. It seems logical that calling the <FILE>; on a line would read in the next line, but it does not appear to work.
If this is still not clear, please let me know. I do not want to waste anyone's time. I can be email privately at mikev@beverlycorp.com
Thanks
