awk - if field is empty, move line to new file
I have a script with this statement:
/usr/xpg4/bin/awk -F"[,|]" 'NR==FNR{s["\"" $1 "\""]=$2;next}{printf "%s\"%s\"\n", $0, s[$3]}' LOOKUP.TXT finallistnew.txt >test.txt
I want to include logic or an additional step that says if there is no data in field 3, move the whole line out of test.txt into an additional file.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
