Hi Folks,
I have a file with all fields defined by byte position, but any field can be empty so I cannot print lines based on a search of specific columns. I need to print all lines of this file where the string of two characters at byte position 100-101 contains the number 27. Any ideas?

Hi!
How can I print out a specific range of rows, like "cat file | awk NR==5,NR==9", but in the END-statement?
I have a small awk-script that finds specific rows in a file and saves the line number in an array, like this:
awk '
BEGIN { count=0}
/ZZZZ/ {
list=NR

GREP(1) General Commands Manual GREP(1)
NAME
grep - search a file for a pattern
SYNOPSIS
grep [ option ... ] pattern [ file ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Grep searches the input files (standard input default) for lines (with newlines excluded) that match the pattern, a regular expression as
defined in regexp(6). Normally, each line matching the pattern is `selected', and each selected line is copied to the standard output.
The options are
-c Print only a count of matching lines.
-h Do not print file name tags (headers) with output lines.
-i Ignore alphabetic case distinctions. The implementation folds into lower case all letters in the pattern and input before interpre-
tation. Matched lines are printed in their original form.
-l (ell) Print the names of files with selected lines; don't print the lines.
-L Print the names of files with no selected lines; the converse of -l.
-n Mark each printed line with its line number counted in its file.
-s Produce no output, but return status.
-v Reverse: print lines that do not match the pattern.
Output lines are tagged by file name when there is more than one input file. (To force this tagging, include /dev/null as a file name
argument.)
Care should be taken when using the shell metacharacters $*[^|()= and newline in pattern; it is safest to enclose the entire expression in
single quotes '...'.
SOURCE
/sys/src/cmd/grep.c
SEE ALSO
ed(1), awk(1), sed(1), sam(1), regexp(6)
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is null if any lines are selected, or non-null when no lines are selected or an error occurs.
