grep mac address – 2 consecutive lines

My file consists of scan results. Each result can have 4-20 lines

I want to filter only MAC addresses for Successful (Passed scans)

My file:

I would like to extract list of mac addressees that Passed scans.

So in example

if line contains “PASSED” and next line or 2 contain mac address … print mac addresses.

I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction…

Answer

You could use grep twice:

  • first time to identify “PASSED” lines, followed by a MAC addresses
  • second time to extract the MAC address from the result

Exemple:

grep -Pzo 'PASSED.*?s+([0-9A-F]{2}(:[0-9A-F]{2}){5})' d.txt | grep -Po '[0-9A-F]{2}(:[0-9A-F]{2}){5}'

You can check the two next lines with the following command (I still can’t find a way to make it to work for both cases):

grep -Pzo 'PASSED.*?(s+([0-9A-F]{2}(:[0-9A-F]{2}){5}).*?){2}' 3.txt | grep -Po '[0-9A-F]{2}(:[0-9A-F]{2}){5}'
