Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Separate lines from text file Post 302389956 by linuxpenguin on Tuesday 26th of January 2010 01:02:42 PM

Code:
awk -F '|' '$5 ~ /^Active$/ {print $0}' filename

May be I should do some explaining too Smilie

awk is a unix filter.
-F : field separator, in your case its the character '|'
the awk script says that if the $5 (5th field) ~ (matches) the pattern /^Active$/ (^ and $ mean begins with and ends with respectively), then print $0, i.e the entire line.

Lemme know if that helped.
