Text processing

Hi,

Need an advise on

Code:

$ cat test.txt 
START
field1
field2
field3
field4
field5
field6
END

12345|6|1|2|3|4|111|119
67890|6|1|3|8|9|112|000

$

Above is the sample file, I would like to check if "field5" exists in file, if exists check if 67890 exits, if exists then print corresponding values for "field5"

sample output:
112

Thanks in advance

Maddy
