Hello,

I have a file as follows:

col no:1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

a 4 226 226 ch:95024048-95027592, 1y224 of 3545 223 224 ident
b 53 235 235 ch:148398-148401255, 1y184 of 3187 180 186 ident

awk '{if($2==4) print $0}' test ------> is great for one condition. I want 2 conditions but cannot seem to figure out the syntax needed:

if($2==4) && if($9==223) print $0

Any help would be great
Cheers
Layla

Hi Layla,

Please try the below command.

awk '{if($2==4 && $9==223) print $0}' test

Thanks

Thankyou Gayucvns
I know != is not equal to. If I want to put an "or" condition instead of an && would you know the command?

Layla

Hi dr,

Instead of && use ||.

command1 && command2

This statement is read, if command1 is true (has an exit status of zero) then perform command2.

The || construct will do the opposite:

command1 || command 2


If the exit status of command1 is false (non-zero), command2 will be executed.

awk '{if($2==4 || $9==223) print $0}' test

Thanks
