For your testfile.txt grep "^ *$" testfile.txt -A1 --no-group-separator | sed '/^ *$/d' The pattern "^ *$" matches empty lines. grep provides the -A$N to return N lines after the matching line. sed then removes the empty line returned by grep. If the file does not start with an empty line then the first paragraph is missed, but you can probably find a solution to that problem. -Ben
