Need advice: Awk vs something else?

I have a while read loop cycling through a fixed-length csv file and I'd like to use an if statement to check two fields in each line. I'm basically asking for your suggestions on the best and easiest way to check two fields in each line. I'm sure many of you may be thinking just use awk, but if there's an alternative I'd rather use that, simply because I already have other variables within the while loop.

PHP Code:


			
while read FILE; do

 if []; then

 ..

 fi

done < deals.csv

I was thinking about something like this:

PHP Code:


			
Fone=`cut -c2-4 < $LINE`

Ftwo=`cut -c68 < $LINE`



if [ Fone -eq "PBR" && Ftwo -eq " " ]; then

fi

I'm getting a syntax error on the second one... Anyone see what's wrong?
