It is a multi line file and the inbetween spaces are also not constant ie. name(???), age(???) can be separated by single space/tab/new line.

I have a file named "file1" with contents as shown below:

name(abc) age(123)
empid(a123) degree(graduate)

.

Now suppose I know that the format of my file is as...

Thanks a lot. It worked! I tried that way but I was using NR in place FNR.
Thanks again!

Yes, that can be done but for a long table if you have to search each element of the field, you will require a lot of code.

I also tried with a slight modification of your command

AWK -F"|" '$1 == /'$count'/ {prinf $4}' file1

CAT file1
abc |123 |abc123
bcd |234 |bcd234
cde |345 |cde345

In such a situation the command will not work. I...

Hi,

Thank you for your initiative but the suggestion isn't working. Can you suggest something else.

I have two questions:

(Q1) I am using a loop and want to print a particular field of a table using the AWK command by accessing one row at a time by validating NR with the loop counter. I am...

Thanks for the AWK command help
