Hi all,

I have files with mailing addresses in them. There are normally 4-5 lines
with the first line starting with "address: " then the person's name and
3 or 4 more lines of address. Can (how) I use grep to pull all the
address out? If not grep what else?

grep -A 4 name file

Thanks to Anders and all the others that sent me a clue! Anders' idea worked
fine and very simple.

Thanks!

JIM
