I want to search for a number found in the 4th column on a specific line in a file and store that value into a variable. This file contains over 7000 lines of data. The specific line I am looking for contains the letters 'OXT' This is why I was thinking of using awk to find the line that contains 'OXT' and then grab the number from the 4th column of that line only. Would that work with split?

PR(1) General Commands Manual PR(1)
NAME
pr - print file
SYNOPSIS
pr [ option ] ... [ file ] ...
DESCRIPTION
Pr produces a printed listing of one or more files. The output is separated into pages headed by a date, the name of the file or a speci-
fied header, and the page number. If there are no file arguments, pr prints its standard input.
Options apply to all following files but may be reset between files:
-n Produce n-column output.
+n Begin printing with page n.
-h Take the next argument as a page header.
-wn For purposes of multi-column output, take the width of the page to be n characters instead of the default 72.
-f Use formfeeds instead of newlines to separate pages. A formfeed is assumed to use up two blank lines at the top of a page. (Thus
this option does not affect the effective page length.)
-ln Take the length of the page to be n lines instead of the default 66.
-t Do not print the 5-line header or the 5-line trailer normally supplied for each page.
-sc Separate columns by the single character c instead of by the appropriate amount of white space. A missing c is taken to be a tab.
-m Print all files simultaneously, each in one column,
Inter-terminal messages via write(1) are forbidden during a pr.
FILES
/dev/tty? to suspend messages.
SEE ALSO
cat(1)
DIAGNOSTICS
There are no diagnostics when pr is printing on a terminal.
