Find the line number where a specific word appears with “grep” [closed]

Answer 1

You can call tail +[line number] [file] and pipe it to grep -n which shows the line number:

tail +[line number] [file] | grep -n /regex/

The only problem with this method is the line numbers reported by grep -n will be [line number] - 1 less than the actual line number in [file].
