Guys, I know that the below command will cut the 13th field from test.txt file Code:
awk -F"|" '{print $13}' test.txtThe answer would be, Code:
If we see the 3 rd one, it has more than 2 characters. So i wanted to check this in if condition and i want to get the output if the 13th field has more than 2 characters.  Any help would be greately appreciated!!! Last edited by Franklin52; 12-19-2012 at 02:20 AM.. Reason: Please use code tags for data and code samples |
