Assume I have a file with a lot of data sets like
Code:
123 abc 01
456 def 02
789 ghi

and I only want to grep all that datasets from my file having the pattern '02' at the postion 9-10 to get only
Code:
456 def 02

So I could group the datsets into three files according to the position 9-10, one for '01', one for '02' and one for ' '

Thanks in advance for any help Smilie
