Hello;

Would it be possible to show a number of lines around a highlighted line?

A log file can contain errors and the statement causing the error would be a few lines above the error. For example.

Would it be possible to show a few lines before the actual error message? For example an additional configuration parameter in the highlight rule dialog: lines shown before or after the highlighted line.

Kind regards;

Niko

I'd like to vote this feature up as well. My use case is a Java error that has a long stack trace that I'd want to see.

egrep has this feature.

-A NUM, --after-context=NUM
Print NUM linesof trailing context after matchinglines.
Places a line containing -- betweencontiguous groups of
matches.

-B NUM, --before-context=NUM
Print NUM lines of leading context before matching lines.
Places a line containing -- betweencontiguous groups of
matches.

Thanks for the update!
Love the follow up.
Keep up the good work!

Kind regards.
