Subject: if / else, how to include next line


Hi everyone,

absolute beginner here, so bare with me ;)

The following issue came up and I can't figure out how to solve.
Probably nothing very complicated, tho.

I want to load a text file via ARGV[0] and then search it for a key
word. If this key word is found, it should be printed (puts) and...and
this is very I am stuck ...it should also included the next 8 lines. The
file structure looks like this:

KOG0003
 Sc             000000000
 Dr             000000000
 Ar             001010011
 Ca             000100100
 Ho             001010010
 Sa             010000000
 An             100000100
 Pl             000001000
KOG0009
 Sc             000100
 Dr             100000
 Ar             001001
 Ca             101000
 Ho             101010
 Sa             010000
 An             100000
 Pl             001000

So lets say I want to select for a specific KOG (or a list of KOGs) and
write them together with the associated lines into a new file. I guess
the issue at the moment is, that when I open the ARGV[0], it reads one
line at a time - cant quite figure out how to include the "go to next
line and puts it, too" part.

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated

/Marc
