Sorry, $14 == 528, not $12 (looks like the email client wrapped the line also) Aaron -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bliss, Aaron Sent: Tuesday, June 27, 2006 11:01 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Quick question on awk usage Hi everyone, I have a quick question on using awk from the command line; I have a tab delimited file, and would like to know the syntax to print the entire line only when $12 == 575; the syntax from the command line to print only $1 would be cat security.log | awk '{print $1}' ; any ideas (grepping for 578 won't be good enough since it's possible that 578 could appear somewhere else in the file) Thanks very much.
