As a one-liner

perl -ne "$n = $.if /line 05/; print if $n and $. == ( $n + 4 )" numbe +red.dat
Substitute your match criteria for /line 05/, the number after for the constant 4 and the name of your file at the end.

As a program

#! perl -sw use strict; my $p; while (<DATA>) { $p = $. if /$ARGV[0]/; print if $p and $. == ( $p + $ARGV[1] ); } =pod output (comment only) c:\test>210984 "line 05" 4 line 09 c:\test> =cut __DATA__ line 01 line 02 line 03 line 04 line 05 line 06 line 07 line 08 line 09 line 10 line 11 line 12 line 13 line 14 line 15 line 16 line 17 line 18 line 19 line 20

Nah! You're thinking of Simon Templar, originally played (on UKTV) by Roger Moore and later by Ian Ogilvy
