You didn't print the line that the match was on, which was stipulated. I also don't like having it wait forever for more input files. A better cheating solution is therefore:

perl -ne'die$_,(<>)[0..3]if/ou/' test.txt

(Erm, OK. I may have just printed to the wrong filehandle... :-)

I stand corrected; your cheating solution through the use of additional cheating is much better than mine! I just whipped mine up real quick to spite blakem, I didn't check it as thoroughly as I should :)	[reply]
