However, I only want the information past “Current Network Information:”. Counting the lines before does not work as that information is variable. Also, the pound signs were put in by me. Please ignore them

Answer 1

Using awk:

awk '/Current Network Information/,0' INPUT_FILE

Using sed:

sed -n '/Current Network Information/,$p' INPUT_FILE
