The easiest way (IMHO) is to install and use GNU's grep. It has a -A and -B
option for lines after the searched for string is found....
-> ggrep --help
Usage: ggrep [OPTION]... PATTERN [FILE] ...
Search for PATTERN in each FILE or standard input.
Regexp selection and interpretation:
-E, --extended-regexp PATTERN is an extended regular expression
-F, --fixed-regexp PATTERN is a fixed string separated by newlines
-G, --basic-regexp PATTERN is a basic regular expression
-e, --regexp=PATTERN use PATTERN as a regular expression
-f, --file=FILE obtain PATTERN from FILE
-i, --ignore-case ignore case distinctions
-w, --word-regexp force PATTERN to match only whole words
-x, --line-regexp force PATTERN to match only whole lines
Miscellaneous:
-s, --no-messages suppress error messages
-v, --revert-match select non-matching lines
-V, --version print version information and exit
--help display this help and exit
Output control:
-b, --byte-offset print the byte offset with output lines
-n, --line-number print line number with output lines
-H, --with-filename print the filename for each match
-h, --no-filename suppress the prefixing filename on output
-q, --quiet, --silent suppress all normal output
-a, --text do not suppress binary output
-d, --directories=ACTION how to handle directories
ACTION is 'read', 'recurse', or 'skip'.
-r, --recursive equivalent to --directories=recurse.
-L, --files-without-match only print FILE names containing no match
-l, --files-with-matches only print FILE names containing matches
-c, --count only print a count of matching lines per FILE
Context control:
-B, --before-context=NUM print NUM lines of leading context
-A, --after-context=NUM print NUM lines of trailing context
-C, --context[=NUM] print NUM (default 2) lines of output context
unless overriden by -A or -B
-NUM same as --context=NUM
-U, --binary do not strip CR characters at EOL (MSDOS)
-u, --unix-byte-offsets report offsets as if CRs were not there (MSDOS)
If no -[GEF], then `egrep' assumes -E, `fgrep' -F, else -G.
With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input. If less than
two FILEs given, assume -h. Exit with 0 if matches, with 1 if none.
Exit with 2 if syntax errors or system errors.
