PO Date Product Manufacturer UPC Dept Loc Comment

108224 061007 12mm bolt ABC Co. xxxxxxxx Eng Cebu Jason


I want to display just the PO in the first column when doing a query with grep on the date....if I grep 061007 | awk what should I put after awk to get only the PO number back?

Thanks for all your help.
