  • awsome response !! thanks a lot @Serg . Just a question If I want to add an other field like Regulated FR I make it like this? : if ($1~/Regulated/ || $1~/FR/ || $1~/Regulated/ || $1~/ ENG/) ? Commented Feb 29, 2016 at 13:32

    Well, what the original line does is to test if column number $1 has words regulated or FR. If you want " Regulated ENG" line , it will be found already, just because it has the word regulated. But if you are looking for something like "ENG xx", then add if ($1~/ENG/) . It always depends on how your input text file looks like, so i cannot tell you how to program something i never seen Commented Feb 29, 2016 at 13:57
