Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I have a file with format as below:

cat 0 animal 90 number90 cat_number_name
cat 1 animal 91 number91 cat_animal_name
cat 2 animal 92 number92 cat_name_animal


kiwi 0 bird 90 number90 kiwi_number_name
kiwi 1 bird 91 number91 kiwi_animal_name
kiwi 2 bird 92 number92 kiwi_name_animal

I want to search for $1=cat and $2=0 and print using awk
For eg:
the O/p should be after the search (for the above )
cat 2 animal 92 number92 cat_name_animal

Another words, i want to print line where the first field is cat and second field is 0


Thanks in advance
JS

Hi Jisha,

i think your supposed output for $1=cat and $2=o is

cat 0 animal 90 number90 cat_number_name

The follwing may solve the purpose for you

awk '{if ( $1=="cat" && $2==0 ) {print $0}}' file

Actually the "if" is inherent in how awk works, so that can be simplified.

Code:

awk '$1 == "cat" && $2 == 0 { print }' file

Thank you so much !!
