Extract columns into seperate file
I have a comma delimited file as per the one below and I am currently extracting the values in 2 columns (COL1 & COL6) to produce a smaller trimmed down version of the file which only contains the columns we need;

Code:
COL1,COL2,COL3,COL4,COL5,COL6,COL7,COL8,COL9
1111,AAAA,AAAA,AAAA,AAAA,X100,AAAA,AAAA,XXXX
2222,AAAA,AAAA,AAAA,AAAA,X200,AAAA,AAAA,
3333,AAAA,AAAA,AAAA,AAAA,X300,AAAA,AAAA,XXXX
4444,AAAA,AAAA,AAAA,AAAA,X400,AAAA,AAAA,XXXX
5555,AAAA,AAAA,AAAA,AAAA,X500,AAAA,AAAA,

I now have an additional requirement to only extract the values of COL1 & COL6 when COL9 has value present(could be anything) i.e. lines 1,3,4
The output produced would therefore look something like;

Code:
COL1,COL2
1111,X100
3333,X300
4444,X400

I have the below code which extracts only COL1 & COL2, but need to additional functionality


Code:
 
 awk -F, 'BEGIN {OFS=","} {gsub(/^[ \t]+/, "", $1); gsub(/[ \t]+$/, "", $1); gsub(/^[ \t]+/, "", $6); gsub(/[ \t]+$/, "", $6)} {if (NR>1) {print $1,$6}}' input.csv > output.csv

Code:
$ awk -F, 'BEGIN{print "COL1,COL2"} NR>1 && $9 {print $1,$6}' OFS=, input.csv
COL1,COL2
1111,X100
3333,X300
4444,X400
