    YOU will have to code this in a loop and not use select-string.  Just use "match" then count 8 lines.

    $results = Select-String -Path 'c:\file.txt' "Word" -context 0,8

$results.Context.PostContext[7]

    Also if you process large file I would advise you to try new PowerShell 7.0. There Select-String has some new parameters and optimizations and works very fast in some scenarios.
