Using AWK to find 2 different values in a file

[warburp]

Hi,
I'm trying to use AWK to find a line in a file equal to 2 different variables and write it to another variable. I can find the values individually but I can't work out how to put them together. Here are the lines:

e=`awk '/ALMHT?/' $DIRLOG$CFILE`
f=`awk '$2 == "Active"' $DIRLOG$CFILE`

I want to then test if the variable is null or not and take action based on that.


Thanks

Try something like this:
ef=`awk '($0~"ALMHT?&quot||($2=="Active&quot' $DIRLOG$CFILE`
echo "ef='$ef'"

Hope This Help
