Re: {bb} BB and logs

on some OS, there's a context switch for the grep command:

cat <somefile> | grep -1 sometext

where it will print the previous, current and following line (-1),
using -2, it will display, the 2 previous lines, the current and 2 
following lines.

but looking at bb-msgs.sh, I'm not sure that would work as it first 
checks for matching lines and then removes those that are to be ignored...

if you don't use ignore string, it may work but haven't tried myself.

the place to change might be this code(around line 290):

if [ -s $BBTMP/MSG.tail.$PID ]
then
     $TAIL -c +${LINES} $file 2>$BBTMP/MSG.tail.$PID | $GREP "$word" >> 
$MBAD
fi

change

$GREP "$word"

to

$GREP -1 "$word"

that *might* give you 3 lines... (previous,current,following)

bye
