Hello John K,

So you mean you need to get either string is present in a record/line or not because if we remove the duplicates then either it will give output 1 or 0, if this is the case then following may help you in same.
Code:
awk '{num=sub(/3-/,X,$0);print num}'   Input_file

If above doesn't meet your requirements then kindly provide us sample Input_file with expected output too on same.

Thanks,
R. Singh
