Just had a requirement to print the current line with pattern and next line. This seems to be pretty straight forward with AWK awk '/YOUR_STRING/{c=1;{print}next}c-->0'   <yourFile> if you put c=2, it will print the next two lines   Eg.  sampleData.txt containg.. EmployeeName ABC XYZ QPR LMN awk '/EmployeeName/{c=1;{print}next}c-->0'   sampleData.txt will print.. EmployeeName ABC if you don't want headers.. awk '/EmployeeName/{c=1;next}c-->0'   sampleData.txt
