Hi,
I have a data file separated by comma, data enclosed by ""
head file.txt
"HD","Sep 13 2016 1:05AM","0001"
"DT","273093045","192534"
"DT","273097637","192534"
..
I want to get the 3rd column value (0001) to be assigned to my variable
I tried
FILE_VER=`cat file.txt | awk -F',' '{if ($1 == "HD") print $3}'`
I dont get any value assigned to FILE_VER. Please help me with correct syntax
