====== AWK - Display line after the matching string ======

<code bash>
awk '/the_string/{getline; print}' file.txt
</code>


----

====== Example ======

Assuming a file, **test.txt**, exists with the following contents:

<file>
10   Peter     Terence   Roux        45
11   Virginia  Genevieve  Roux        45
12   Felix     Devon     Roux         5
13   David     Bruce     Stevenson   48
14   Bob       James     Smith       16
48   Adam      Winter    Ridley      23
</file>

Running

<code bash>
awk '/Peter/{getline; print}' test.txt
</code>

returns:

<code bash>
11   Virginia  Genevive  Roux        45
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  This simply returns the next line after the search string of **Peter**.
</WRAP>


----

Running

<code bash>
awk '/Roux/{getline; print}' test.txt
</code>

returns:

<code bash>
11   Virginia  Genevieve  Roux       45
13   David     Bruce     Stevenson   48
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  This finds the search string **Roux** in row 10, so it includes the next row 11 in the result; even though row 11 also contains the same search string.

It then proceeds with row 12 which also contains the search string **Roux**, so it includes row 13 in the results.

No further rows contain the search string so nothing else is added to the result.
</WRAP>

Running

<code bash>
awk '/4/{getline; print}' test.txt
</code>

returns:

<code bash>
11   Virginia  Genevieve  Roux       45
14   Bob       James     Smith       16
48   Adam      Winter    Ridley      23
</code>

<WRAP info>
**NOTE:**  This finds the search string **4** in row 10, so it includes the next row 11 in the result; even though row 11 also contains the same search string.

It then proceeds from row 12.  It does not find the search string **4**, so moves to row 13.

In row 13 it finds the search string **4**, so it includes the next row 14 in the results; even though row 14 also contains the same search string.

It then proceeds from row 15.

The last row contains the search string; and as there is no other row below that can be added to the result; the last row itself is added.  Possibly a bug?
