Shell Programming and Scripting

HI,

I am trying to write a validation script as below

awk '($1=="ABC"&&$2="XYZ" ,then check the value in $8,$10 these columns should not be null.

so their should be some corresponding value n the $8 and $10 column,if their is no value the script has to give error saying that at a particular line there is no corresponding value and it should throw error.

please give me some hint how to do this.

Regards,
Gaur

What did you try so far? What errors do you get? There is plenty of syntax errors in that short part of code in your sentence.

Try:

Code:

awk  '($1=="ABC" && $2=="XYZ") &&  ( ! $8 || ! $10 ) {print "Error in :"$0}' file
