Search for a particular number in a particular column.. 1

[jdespres]

I would like to search for a particular number in a particular column. Once found print the entire line.

For example:

Search for the number 16 in column 4....

And the following would come up

1188921115 1 2 16 cscnb01 0 0 0 bpexpdate bpexpdate Could not build host list: client hostname could not be found

Is this do-a-ble?

Thanks.....

awk '$4 == 16 {print}' input_file

Ceci n'est pas une signature
