awk selection on fields

amatuer_lee_3 · #1 (**permalink**) 05-09-2008

I want to have a search using the month and year to output numerical data.

The knowledge i have so far on the matter is:

$awk '{print $1, $2, $3, $4 }' hits

the result of this is:

123.45.6.7 NOV 2006 1805GMT

now for me this code will print out the two colums i want but i need to figure out a way to create the search criteria for these columns.

the search criteria needs to be the month and date and needs to be entered either numerically or with text.

any ideas?

An example how you can get the records of "nov 2006"

Code:

awk '$2=="NOV" && $3=="2006" {print $1, $2, $3, $4 }' hits
