I'm looking to do something similar, but I'm not up to snuff enough on
awk or perl to figure it out on my own yet.

Anyway, I'm looking to match a particular string in a line, then grab
this line
and the next 5 after it so I can parse out some other parameters.
Here's a sample of what
I need to pull out of the file (matching on 'GHLR665', then pulling
this line plus the next 5):

1193616363 XXXXXX46D00 CM GHLR665 OCT28 18:59:54 7090 INFO
Table GHLRVLR Resource Limitation
1193616363 Operation: Update Location
1193616363 VLR number: 551178313920
1193616363 Description: Table GHLRVLR is about to
reach its 6000 Maximum Capacity.
1193616363 Space Left: 0 (6000)
1193616363 Action: Use QVLRACT in HLRADMIN to
identify the inactive VLRs.

Every line in this log file starts with a 10 digit number (i.e.
1193616363), which may or may not be the same value.
The line before and after what I'm trying to capture and write into a
single line / record will be just the 10 digit number,
followed by some white space character and a carriage return (UNIX
style, I think).

Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!

Mike
