Hello,

I have the output generated from miRanda. My question is as follows:

I want to extract the line ( protein information) After the "Read Sequence:" part. I tried grep with -A1 option but that generates information after every single "Read Sequence:" in the ENTIRE output file. But I only want this info from the ones with the hits (miRNA-target Sequence Alignment), like entry #1 in the example below and NOT entry #2. There are several hundred entries in this output file generated, but I only want to extract the info associated right after "Read Sequence:" for ONLY THOSE ENTRIES , where a miRNA-target hit has been found.

Any help is most appreciated !

Thanks and regards
