Code:

3456 g h
456   f  h
4567 f g h z
345   f g
567   h j k l

This is a very large data file and tab delimited.

I need to extract the rows that have values in all the 5 columns. At present, there are several rows that contain only 3 values.

please let me know the best way to extract the rows with all 5 values

Thanks.

Code:
awk 'NF==5' file > newfile
