Help selecting some rows with awk
Hi there, I have a text file with several colums separated by "|;#" I need to search the file extracting all columns starting with the value of "1" or "2" saving in a separate file just the first 7 columns of each row maching the criteria, with replacement of the saparators in the nearly created file from "|;#" into ";".
Just for instance this is what I have :
Code:
1;Paul;10|100;20090909#2000;1000;40;20;100;80;1000;500
2;Lara;10|100;20090909#2100;2000;80;40;100;80;1000;500
1;Carlos;24|100;20090909#2200;4000;30;50;100;80;1000;500
4;Juan;12|100;20090909#2010;6000;20;20;600;80;1000;500
3;Chis;18|100;20090909#2001;8000;50;20;100;80;1000;500

What I need in a separate file is this :
Code:
1;Paul;10;100;20090909;2000;1000
2;Lara;10;100;20090909;2100;2000
1;Carlos;24;100;20090909;2200;4000

Thanks a lot in advance for your help
Nino
