How to keep previous and current line if the previous line contains common text?
I have a main file like this:
Hello_world
Anna
Frank
Jeremy
Hello_earth
Jessie
James
I would want 3 output files like this:
**Output file 1** (Only has the string with the previous hello)
Hello_world,Anna
Hello_earth,Jessie
**Output file 2** (Only has the string WITHOUT previous hello)
Frank
Jeremy
James
**Output file 3** (Only has the string with the previous hello and including Hi to string without hello from previous line )
Hello_world,Anna
Hello_earth,Jessie
Hi,Frank
Hi,Jeremy
Hi,James
I have tried using grep and awk but was not able to get the desired output
