Java Searching using awk - Help required
Hi...

I am working on script to search some records in a file based on certain fields and each record is a ASCII fixed size. I was using awk to search based on certain condition. But the length of the record is too much that awk is giving

syntax error near unexpected token `('

Request urgent help on this or any other idea.

Dont copy paste the input, the input i pasted in previous post should be taken as a single line. Then you will get that error.

Code:
awk 'substr($0,1,2)==90' in_file

or
Code:
awk '/^90/' in_file
