Need help with shell script for chekking a column in txt file - pipe delimited
Hi:

I have a text file date(pipe delimited) which is loaded in to the DB using sql loader(&CTL files) after some initial validation by the shell script.
Now i have a situation where the shell script needs to check a column in the text file and if it is NULL then it needs send this record/row to another new file ( later this file will be used to attach in the email to correct the null column), i do not want to delete the record from the original file but just want to check that column and if its null send the row to new file...here is data in the text file which i trimmed/formated for easy understanding:

Code:
HDR|ABCD|10-13-2008 to 10-19-2008.txt|10-19-2008|XYZ
DTL|H|5464-1|0|02-02-2008|02-03-2008||||F|||||||||
DTL|D|5464-1|1|02-02-2008|02-03-2008|1|M|JJJ
DTL|D|5464-1|2|02-02-2008|02-03-2008|1|M|JJJ
DTL|D|5464-1|3|02-02-2008|02-03-2008|1||JJJ
DTL|D|5464-1|4|02-02-2008|02-03-2008|1||JJJ
TRL|ABCD|10-13-2008 to 10-19-2008.Txt|10-19-2008|170|XYZ

I would like to check the 8th column which has 'M' for couple of records and NULL/nothing for couple others, i would like to send the ones which are NULL to new file.

Any kind of suggestion would be really appreciated.

thanks,
ravi
