Hello<br />
<br />
I have a large text file and want to filter rows where when a certain word (eg from) is found then I want that row and the very next returned - example..<br />
<br />
mytext=&quot;<br />
This is a test<br />
and &nbsp;the word I am looking to capture is<br />
FROM<br />
and this line should also be returned<br />
this line should not be returned<br />
or this one etcetc<br />
From today<br />
blah blah<br />
and this line should also be returned<br />
this line should not be <br />

Ruby is an open-source dynamic object-oriented interpreted language that supports multiple programming frameworks including functional, object oriented and imperative. It also has a dynamic type system and automatic memory management. Ruby focuses on simplicity and productivity. Ruby's market share spiked due to Ruby on Rails, a model-view-controller (MVC) framework for building web applications.

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
