Not a CentOS specific question, although I am running grep on

but how would you grep out a series of lines in a file starting at a
specific point. For instance, if I have a file named foo and I
want to
grep out the next 5 lines after the first and only instance of the
string "bar" how could I pull that off? Thanks so much.
for the line matching "bar" and the next five lines after it:
$ grep -A 5 bar foo
if you don't want the line matching "bar":
$ grep -A 5 bar foo | tail -5

If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an
