Parsing a file (NMAP output)

rmueller58 — Mon, 22 Dec 2014 19:14:39 GMT

We are trying catalog our servers that have port 443 open, so we can catalog where we have used certificates.>

I have multiple files where i have entries in the files containing specific nmap output

Interesting ports on moodle.OURDOMAIN.TLD (XXX.YYY.ZZZ.CCCC):
PORT    STATE SERVICE
443/tcp open https
MAC Address: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF (VMWare)

Interesting ports on moodletest.OURDOMAIN.TLD (XXX.YYY.ZZZ.BBB):
PORT    STATE SERVICE
443/tcp open https
MAC Address: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF(VMWare)

Interesting ports on moodlew2.OURDOMAIN.TLD(XXX.YYY.ZZZ.AAA):
PORT    STATE SERVICE
443/tcp open https
MAC Address: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF (VMWare)

I would like to "grep for the word "open" and grab the two lines prior and line after the occurance of "open"

Hoping the script gurus have an idea.

No need to script, it's built into grep:

grep -B2 -A1 open input-file
