Vista - Return the next line of in a text file after matching the previous

Hi all,

Could you please help me,

I have a text log file which i pattern match using Powershell to return a
line, however the line i am actually interested in is the following line, i
cannot match this line directly as the previous line (the one i'm matching
on) denotes that this line is what is required.

Many Thanks for your help

using CTP3:


$line = gc file.txt | select-string "<regex>" -context 0,1
$line.context

Select-String's MatchInfo objects have a 1-based LineNumber property which you can use.
Get-Content returns a 0-based Object[].
Using the MatchInfo's LineNumber values -without adjusting them- as indices for the Object[] will retrieve the line after each line that successfully matched the pattern in the log.

$log = 'log.txt'
$patt = 'find me'
$indx = Select-String $patt $log | ForEach-Object {$_.LineNumber}
(Get-Content $log)[$indx]

# v2 CTP3 makes it easier
Select-String $patt $log -Context 0, 1 | % {$_.Context.PostContext}
