hi,

im not sure the forum rules allow us to do this for you but since you might be in a hurry i will do it for you(am i going to jail tonight)

a)

awk -Fs '{if($2 == "dan") print}' 12345.log

replace the s after -F by the separator in the file. here i cant see the correct separator character.


b)

awk -Fs '{if($2 == "dan" && $3 == "sport") print}' 12345.log

tnx!!!

i love u!

Do you think the job is right for you if it requires Linux experience and you "don't have a clue in linux"?

[khafa]

scm i dont think that the job requires Linux experience because if it was the case they wouldnt give him/her such an easy test.

[avnic]

this job don't need Linux experience.
i am a .NET C# Programmer.

this was one question from ten..

thanks a lot!

you welcome

as a programmer some Unix/Linux experience will really broaden you chances (IMHO).
