Sep 25, 2021 at 21:24 comment added Paul_Pedant This code is simple awk -- Mac awk should be identical to GNU/awk here because no extensions are required.
Sep 25, 2021 at 21:22 comment added Paul_Pedant Why does your question mention 3 and 5, but your code says 19? Why should that work?
Sep 25, 2021 at 21:21 comment added Paul_Pedant Did you actually type <myfile> ? That was probably intended to be a placeholder where you enter your own file name. The <myfile looks like an input redirection, and the > looks like an output redirection with a missing filename. That is probably why it complains about getting a newline at that point.
Sep 25, 2021 at 19:18 comment added Nasir Riley Unfortunately, I don't have access to a MacBook or the MacOS awk so you'll have to wait for input from someone who does. I was simply trying to get you to specify exactly what you need and what you had done and where it wasn't working so that someone else can help you.

Sep 25, 2021 at 18:41 comment added Nasir Riley The expected output doesn't appear anywhere in your question so no one has any idea as to what you need. You need to post an example of exactly what you need and not just a vague description.
Sep 25, 2021 at 18:40 comment added YKILYCHAN @NasirRiley already done so! Thank you for your input!

Sep 25, 2021 at 18:37 comment added Nasir Riley Like I said, add that and your expected output to your question so that it doesn't get lost in the comments. Also add to your question that you are using awk for MacOS and not the gnu awk or gawk.
Sep 25, 2021 at 18:36 comment added YKILYCHAN @Paul_Pedant this two condition is 'and'
Sep 25, 2021 at 18:34 comment added YKILYCHAN @NasirRiley I have use a awk command like the answer below, but it doesn't show the result. It shows 'quote>'. I don't know what happened. Does it have something to do with my laptop? I am using a Mac.

Sep 25, 2021 at 16:44 comment added Paul_Pedant By the way, it is not CSV, it appears to be tab-separated.
Sep 25, 2021 at 16:43 comment added Paul_Pedant Also, "not equal to 5 and containing character". Do you mean containing a non-numeric character, like "123q5" ? I note your input data contains a value which is length 5 and contains e -- what does that do ? Do you want the two conditions to be and or or ?
Sep 25, 2021 at 15:36 comment added Nasir Riley Edit your question and add what you tried and where it went wrong. Also, add clarity regarding what you want to do. You state that you want to count the values under column id that have more than three characters but then you want to remove the lines where the number if characters is not equal to five. Which one do you want? Add the expected output to your question to clarify this.
