ID incorrect field values in dat file and output to new file
Hi All

I have a .dat file, the values are seperated by ". I wish to identify all field values in field 14 that are not '01-APR-2013' band then copy those records to a new file. Can anyone suggest the UNIX command required.

Thanks in advance
Andy

untested:
Code:
awk '$14 !~ /01-APR-2013/' FS="\."  .dat > newfile
