    grep xrandr question

    Hello all,
    im developing a frontend to xrandr in gambas and require some help. my program is currently getting all the information from the xrandr tool.

    output :

    Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 1024
    VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
    LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm
    1024x768 60.0*+ 85.0 75.0 70.1 60.0
    832x624 74.6
    800x600 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2
    640x480 85.0 72.8 75.0 59.9
    720x400 85.0
    640x400 85.1
    640x350 85.1


    my question is how do i grep just the LVDS line then the following resolutions??

    thanks in advance.

    Sounds like a job for awk, not grep.

    Hi.

    Recent versions of grep allow an option to specify after context, so that a number of lines can be copied after a match. See man grep for details ... cheers, drl
