Huh!

Goal is to find pattern in file, note line number in same file, discard 
all prior lines while storing all proceeding lines after pattern was 
found?

I have the regexp working and the store working to a table, however 
getting the syntax correct for the "start at linenumber +1 from pattern 
was found" is evading me.

for each line in file
   linenumber = $. if /^string/
end

for each line in file
   linenumber = tell line if /^string/
end

Will either of the above pseudo-code work?

seek to linenumber and add 1
start re-reading at linenumber+1 and store data until EOF.
