Length validation
I am using below code to find the length of first column additionally I want the complete row which length is greater than 12.at the end I want the rows where first column data length is greater than 12.

Just it should validate and highlight the rows where length(first column) is greater than 12.

Example:
Code:
12354687999999999Çabc,98874556
12345Çdef,9887455
78945612,tyuh,5698742

Output should be:
Code:
Length Error-12354687999999999Çabc,98874556

Code:
for i in `cat src_SPS_d_Loan_Level_File_20130515_001.dat | awk -FÇ '{print length($1)}'`
do
  if [ $i -ge 12 ]
  then
    echo ServicerID have higher precision
  else
 echo ServicerID have lesser precision
  fi
done
