grep ??? searching a file and outputting 5 lines either side...
 

Hi,

Anyone tell me how I can search a file and output the following.

1 - 10 lines with the search result in the middle
2 - line numbers (if possible?)

I have the grep working, simple search for a string but I would like to output the above 5 lines and the following 5 lines. Any thoughts?

Solution

-A for trailing lines
-B for leading lines
-n for Line numbers

EDIT - I have solved this myself - forgive me

This is for vi editor
