i interested in pulling data values located on "x/n" line.

to specified number of line of data after match:

grep pattern -a num file 

where,

pattern pattern matched
num number of line of data taken after match

for example, 3 lines after phhi:

grep "^phhi" -a 3 file 

output:

phhi   gfs mos guidance    7/13/2015  0000 utc                       dt /july 13            /july 14                /july 15          /   hr   06 09 12 15 18 21 00 03 06 09 12 15 18 21 00 03 06 09 12 18 00  x/n                    83          71          84          70    84 

to x/n line:

grep "^x/n.*" file 

output:

x/n                    83          71          84          70    84
