Weird scenario with Awk
Guys, this one is rather odd. I've got an array of numbers, and I'm trying to select only the records with the string "Random" in the 4th column. I'm using awk in this format:
awk '{ if (( $6 -eq Random )) print $0 }'
For some odd reason, this is simply giving me the list of all the entries in my file. Can anyone help?
Thanks

my desired output is like this:
so the thing is, I only need to show every of this part out
but the frequency of that data is not fixed, so sometimes it may have 4 lines, or 6 lines or whatever in that file. However, the last line will always have empty space/line below it. (13 Replies)

crypt::random::source::base
Crypt::Random::Source::Base(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Crypt::Random::Source::Base(3pm)
NAME
Crypt::Random::Source::Base - Abstract base class for Crypt::Random::Source classes
SYNOPSIS
use Moose;
extends qw(Crypt::Random::Source::Base);
DESCRIPTION
This is an abstract base class.
In the future it will be a role.
METHODS
get $n, %args
Gets $n random bytes and returns them as a string.
This method may produce fatal errors if the source was unable to provide enough data.
read $buf, $n, [ $off ]
This method is cannibalized from IO::Scalar. It provides an IO::Handle work-alike.
Note that subclasses override this to operate on a real handle directly if available.
seed @stuff
On supporting sources this method will add @stuff, whatever it may be, to the random seed.
Some sources may not support this, so be careful.
available
This is a class method, such that when it returns true calling "new" without arguments on the class should provide a working source of
random data.
This is use by Crypt::Random::Source::Factory.
rank
This is a class method, with some futz value for a ranking, to help known good sources be tried before known bad (slower, less available)
sources.
get_data %Params
Provided for compatibility with Crypt::Random
