What is a big deal in that, i shown you how to show in STDOUT, just redirect it as:

Code:
sed -n '/\([^:]*:\)\{2\}/!p' t1 > reject

If you want to do using SED, then do like this.. both are same in this situation.
Code:
sed -n '/\([^:]*:\)\{2\}/!w reject' t1

I guess, failing because of extended regular expression.

Try this out, it may help you.

Code:
# sed -n '/\([^|]*|\)\([^|]*|\)/p' filename

MySQL Worked excellent but....
Skumdu,

Your guess is absolutely correct,

Given code catered my requrement.
However, I have attached a small sample file, but actual file is a pipe delimited file with approx 150 fileds.
My objetive is to identify the records which are not having 150 delimiters...

So Could you please modify your code for my actual file??

Thanks a lot for your great help
