Hi all,

I wish to write an awk script however for now all I need to do is get the line with the following character - it occurs often... the line is

200 > 120

however awk does not allow me use /200 > 120/ or /200 && 120/ do not work.... anyone have any ideas how to get these lines out?

awk '/200 > 120/' input-file

should work if there is exactly one space on either side of the greater than sign. If there are multiple spaces and/or tabs, you will need something like

awk '/200[ <tab>]*>[ <tab>]*120/' input-file

where <tab> is the tab character. CaKiwi
