OK, am searching a file for a certain text string - when I find it, I need to output the line it's in, and the following 10 lines?

Any help much appreciated.

It was not designed to be used on files having more than one "foo". This is:
Code: 
/foo/&&c=10,!c--
This may not do what you want if "foo" is found in one of the trailing 10 lines.
