split record based on delimiter
Hi,

My inputfile contains field separaer is ^.

12^inms^
13^fakdks^ssk^s3
23^avsd^
13^fakdks^ssk^a4

I wanted to print only 2 delimiter occurence i.e

12^inms^
23^avsd^

Since your input contains delimiter at the end of line also, you are looking for the lines with 3 fields, where the 3rd field is empty:
Code:
awk -F^ 'NF==3&&!$3{print $1"^"$2"^"}' input

Hi,

Using Perl:
Code:
$ cat infile
12^inms^
13^fakdks^ssk^s3
23^avsd^
13^fakdks^ssk^a4
$ perl -ne 'print if tr/^/^/ == 2' infile
12^inms^
23^avsd^

Regards,
Birei
