Thanks Ravinder. So, in your solution, you are asking awk utility to start reading from right to left . Right ? ( $6 being the first field)
Hello John K,
Following is the explanation for solution in more details.
I- Field first will always start from left only.
II- Though you could read fields either from left to right OR right to left.
III- Let's take a look after setting field separator to -F"'|;" and go through all the fields in the line by a loop to see what are the values we have:
IV- So here you could see above 6th field's value is the one which you need to print.
Let me know if you have any more queries on same.
Thanks,
R. Singh
