grabing a number six lines below a pattern

Question

I have these lines repeating

                               FINAL RESULTS



    NSTEP       ENERGY          RMS            GMAX         NAME    NUMBER
    1         


        

Answer 1

This might work for you:

awk '/FINAL RESULTS/{f=1;p=0}{p++}f==1 && p==6{print $2}' file

Or if you like:

awk 'f==2 && p==1{print $2}{p++}/FINAL RESULTS/{f=1}/ENERGY/ && f==1{f=2;p=0}' file
