I need to take a file and find the first occurrence of a literal string pattern as a complete line of the file:

Acknowledgments:

And then I wish to create a new file from the line of match all the way to the end of the file.

I expect perl is a good way to do this, but I'm not much of a perl person, alternatively maybe sed is a good way?

Please suggest a simple way to reliably accomplish this in Unix.
