Works as long as lines 1 and 2 do not contain UGLY. But misbehaves if
UGLY appears early:
$ printf '2\nUGLY\n3\n4\nc\nd\n' | sed -n ':x 1,2{N;bx};
/UGLY/{N;N;z;bx}; /./P;N;D'
d
Oops - missed c.
Also misbehaves if two occurrences of UGLY appear with overlapping context:
$ printf 'a\nb\n1\n2\nUGLY\n3\nUGLY\n4\n5\nc\nd\n' | sed -n ':x
1,2{N;bx}; /UGLY/{N;N;z;bx}; /./P;N;D'
a
b
4
5
c
d
Oops - didn't filter 4 and 5.
May be fixable with even more magic, perhaps by using the hold buffer to
track the status of the last three lines, and suppressing output if any
of the last three inputs were UGLY. But more complicated than I want to
spend time on for the sake of this email.
