	Hi everyone, I have a quick question on using awk from the command line;
	I have a tab delimited file, and would like to know the syntax to print
	the entire line only when $12 == 575;

	-----------------------------------

	 

	awk -F'<tab>' '$12 == 575 {print $0}' file

	Don't type <tab>, simply press the TAB key on your keyboard
