Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

Is there any way that i can display a portion of the file ?
For example, i can find a word in the file using "grep" but i want to display all lines in a file after the word that i just grep'ed for ?
The exact answer depends somewhat on the exact nature of your data. If you gave us an example of the text we could give more detailed help.
grep has a -A (after) option for printing a number of lines after the match, but it has to be given a fixed value. There are also -B and -C ("before" and "context" ) options to print lines before and on both sides of the match.
More generally, sed can be given an address range to match a line, and print from there to the end of the file.
