Using awk, print all the lines where field 8 is equal to x
Using awk, print all the lines where field 8 is equal to x

I really did try, but this awk thing is really hard to figure out.

file1.txt
Code:
"Georgia","Atlanta","2011-11-02","x","","","",""
"California","Los Angeles","2011-11-03","x","","","",""
"Georgia","Atlanta","2011-11-04","x","x","x","x","x"
"Georgia","Atlanta","2011-11-05","x","x","","",""
"Georgia","Atlanta","2011-11-06","x","","","",""
"Rhode Island","Providence","2011-11-07","x","","","","x"

***OUTPUT***
result1.txt
Code:
"Georgia","Atlanta","2011-11-04","x","x","x","x","x"
"Rhode Island","Providence","2011-11-07","x","","","","x"

I tried all the following with different combinations. They either printed everything or nothing. None of the following is achieving the results. What am I missing here?
Code:
awk '{$8 == "x"} {print}' file1.txt
awk -F',' '($8 == "x") {print}' file1.txt
awk '$8 == "x"' file1.txt
awk '($8 == "x")' file1.txt
awk '{$8 == "x"}' file1.txt > result1.txt
awk -F',' '($8 == "x") {print $0}' file1.txt
awk '$8 = "x"' file1.txt
awk '$8 = /x/' file1.txt
awk -F'/",/"' '{$8 == "x"}' file1.txt
awk -F'",/"' '{$8 == "x"}' file1.txt
awk -F'",/"' '{$8 == "x"}' file1.txt

Also would be great to do field 6.

Thank You.

lzcmp

XZDIFF(1)							     XZ Utils								 XZDIFF(1)

NAME

       xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files

SYNOPSIS

       xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
       xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]
       lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2]
       lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2]

DESCRIPTION

       xzcmp  and  xzdiff  invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), or lzop(1).  All options specified
       are passed directly to cmp(1) or diff(1).  If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of  a
       supported  compression format) and file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped.  If two files are specified, then they
       are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1).  The exit status from cmp(1) or diff(1) is preserved.

       The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils.

SEE ALSO

       cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), lzop(1), zdiff(1)

BUGS

       Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified.
