Extract column data
I have a file which extracts data from an HTML file
For Eg HTML file contains:


Code:
New York;ABC;145;Yes;YES;No
New York;BCD;113;Yes;YES;No
New York;NAS;63;Yes;YES;No
------------------------
London-48;CBT;16;Yes;YES;No
London-48;CME;17;Yes;YES;No
London-48;EUR;52;Yes;YES;No
London-48;EUR;188;Yes;YES;No
London-48;USx;66;Yes;YES;No
London-48;AMS;172<BR>178;Yes<BR>Yes;YES<BR>YES;no<BR>no
London-48;LIFE;172<BR>174<BR>178;Yes<BR>Yes<BR>Yes;YES<BR>YES<BR>YES;no<BR>no<BR>no
London-48;EUEd;175;Yes;YES;no
London-48;FOXN;177;Yes;YES;no
London-48;BIRD;177;Yes;YES;no
London-48;MOND;177;Yes;YES;no
London-48;EUI;174;Yes;YES;no
London-48;XEC;15;Yes;No;No
London-48;BRUS;95;Yes;No;No
London-48;NYMC;15;Yes;No;No
-----------------------------
London-47;WBOx;28;Yes;YES;No
London-47;BCD;20;Yes;No;No
London-47;MCe;89;Yes;YES;No
London-47;DUBL;87;Yes;YES;No
London-47;CIHX;34;Yes;YES;No
London-47;Ctaf;203;Yes;No;No
London-47;LUXA;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;LUXB;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;LUXP;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;NEBX;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;NXEL;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;misc;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;BXNJ;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;LANT;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;LANB;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;MASD;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;BRUS;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;LISB;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;LIST;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;PARF;95;Yes;YES;No
London-47;JSEB;31;Yes;YES;No
London-47;LoND;33;Yes;YES;No

As a TXT file, it gets:

It is in the format of

Code:
Server;Country;Num;Data1;Data2;Data3

If there are multiple Num column, then it is in the format


Code:
Server;Country;<BR>Num1</BR><BR>Num2</BR>;Data1ofNum1<BR>Data1ofNum2;Data2ofNum1<BR>Data2ofNum2;Data3ofNum1<BR>Data3ofNum2

Now I need to write a uniq script where the user needs to find a server which has routing and Data2 lets say:

FOR EG of entered data: BRUS Data2

I want to see if data 2 + BRUS is available on a server, it should return London-47, London-48

but the problem is that the txt file grabs data per column and not by row.

If this question is not so clear please inform me.

What does "data2" mean here? What relationship does it have with the content in the HTML file?

The following will perform the columnar checks you require:
Code:
perl -ne '@rec=split/;/,$_;print if (($rec[1] eq "BRUS") && ($rec[4] =~m/Yes/))'

Again, your specification is inconsistent. Your desired output (NOT code tagged!) contains London-47, London-48 ALTHOUGH Data2 in London48 is NO in your sample input file! And, lower case and upper case seem to be mingled deliberately. And, you don't specify what to do with multiple Num entries...
Anyhow, try
Code:
awk -F";" '$2~COUNTRY && toupper($(DATA+3))~"YES" {print $1}' COUNTRY="BRUS" DATA="2" file
London-47
