So here is similar one liners but ... awk '{ print $3 }' # extract third field separated by space awk -F'\t' '{ print $3 }' # extract third field separated by tab awk -F'\t' '($3=="111")' perl -ne 'print if (split('\t'))[2]==111' # extract lines where third field is "111" separated by tab awk '($2=="1957") { print $3 }' # extract third field where the second field is "1957" For the last awk, I can not do the same with perl one liner. I will add these to "Debian Reference", Chapter 8, tips.
