Hey guys. Thanks for the quick replies. I tried the suggestions below on the acutal file (~40000 entries) and, after cross checking the output with another source, I appeared to get the most accurate results with Guru's code (awk '$2 ~ /^CA/' file).

I'll be making note of all of the suggestions below for future reference, though.

Thanks again! You guys just saved me a bunch of time.
