Awk - print next record following matched record

Question

I\'m trying to get a next field after matching field using awk.

Is there an option to do that or do I need to scan the record into array then check each field in array a

Answer 1

You can match the line, then loop over the fields for a match, and print the next record:

awk -F1 '/FIELDB2/ { for (x=1;x<=NF;x++) if ($x~"FIELDB2") print $(x+1) }'
