Print the entire line if second field has value P
Friends,

I have .txt file with 3 millions of rows.

File1.txt
ABC1|A|ABCD1|XYZ1
ABC2|P|ABCD2|XYZ2
ABC3|A|ABCD3|XYZ3
ABC4|P|ABCD4|XYZ4

If second field has value P then print the entire line.

Thanks in advance for your help,
Prashant

Thank you for your help and quick reply.

For multiple field is this the right syntax?

awk -F'|' '$2=="P", $4=="XYZ4"' infile > outfile

Thanks,
Prashant
