Hello,

Following may help you.

Code:

Output will be as follows.

Code:
1G       /tmp/a/b
2.2G    /tmp/c

Hi Kumar,
You can try the following.


awk '/G/ {print $0}' filename

Hello Sdebasis,

Your suggestion will take the G in 2nd column also as follows. So we should only look for column 1st.


I added a G in 2nd column as follows.

Code:
$ cat file_name
1         /tmp/xG
2.2K     /tmp/y
3.2k     /tmp/z
1G       /tmp/a/b
2.2G    /tmp/c
3.4k    /tmp/d

Then it will show G for 2nd column also.

Code:
awk '/G/ {print $0}' chfile_name
1         /tmp/xG
1G       /tmp/a/b
2.2G    /tmp/c

We have to look for 1st column for same to avoid it seacrhing for 2nd column.


Thanks,
R. Singh
