Choosing rows based on column values
I have a .csv file:
Code:
A,B,0.6
C,D,-0.7
D,E,0.1
A,E,0.45
D,G, -0.4

I want to select rows based on the values of the 3rd columns such that it is >=0.5 or <= -0.5
Thanks.
Code:
A,B,0.6
D,G, -0.7

Try:
Code:
awk -F, '$3<=-0.5 || $3>=0.5' file

BTW your input does not correspond to your output. That should probably be:
Code:
A,B,0.6
C,D,-0.7
