grep out the next 5 lines after the first and only instance
The scope of grep's view of the world is a single line. At any one
time, it knows nothing more.
If you need to deal with multiple lines, I suggest perl. Untested code:
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) {
if (m/bar/) {
for ($i = 0; $i < 5 and defined($_); ++$i) {
print;
$_ = <>;
}
last;
}
}
