Hi Friends,
I have a file1
i want to retrieve only the fields which have DEP,CITY,TRANS as headers in other file.
Output:
I want to give the input as DEP,CITY,TRANS column names to get the output.
i used cut command .. but if i have 300 fileds it is more difficult to search for the field names. i want to use AWk commad to get the output

Try like..
awk -F\| '{ print $1"|"$3"|"$5}' test1.txt
awk -F\| -vcols='Dep,City,Trans' '
NR==1 {
for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
if(index(cols,$i))
{
c=1
t=(t)?(t FS $i):$i
}
print t;next
}
{
t=""
for(i=1;i<=NF;i++)
if (i in c)
t=(t)?(t FS $i):$i
print t
