Hi all,

Suppose I have a file called details:
The data in the file is like :
RIM 10 ACCT USA
SAM 15 MATH USSR
TIM 20 COMP AUST
NIN 25 COMP JAPN

now i want to pull out all the details of the users in USA & USSR and direct them to a file.
awk `$4="USA" || $4="USSR" {print} ` details>new_details

can somebody kindly tell me where I am going wrong .
Thanks.

Rooh

use == operator instead of =
use single qoute (') instead of reverse qoute (`)

awk '{$4=="USA"||$4=="USSR" {print $0} details > newdetails
