Sed Getting the Line After Regex

pillows · 05-30-2014, 03:11 PM

I am looking to grab the line after a matching regex in a file.

E.g. here is a file

>Title1
Information about title1
>Title2
Information about title2

I want to search '>Title1' and print the line below it!

Thanks!

I put 'sed print line after pattern' in to Google and found this

I know you think I did not properly search the internet before posting. But I did, and the "N" thingy gave me weird errors which I should have mentioned. But I simply dealt with getting two lines instead of one so I went with the grep -A command.

Good resource you posted though I actually didn't see it since I was looking for "sed get/grab/print line after match/regex"

You should have kept reading it further. A few lines below the "N" thingy, it shows:

Code:

sed -n '/Title1/{n;p}' after.txt
