$ awk '($10 == value)'

try on your machine

The command awk '($10 == value)' is a pattern scanning and text processing command in Unix and Linux environments.

Here's a breakdown of what each part of the command does:

awk: It is a command-line tool used for text processing and manipulation. It reads the specified input file or input from standard input and allows you to perform various actions on the data.
($10 == value): This is the pattern or condition that is being checked by awk. In this case, it is checking if the value in the 10th field (column) is equal to a specific value, which should be specified as value.

When this command is executed, awk reads the input file or standard input line by line, separates each line into fields (columns) based on a delimiter (by default, space), and applies the specified condition on the 10th field (column). If the condition evaluates to true, the line is printed to the output.

To use this command, you would replace value with the actual value you want to compare against the 10th field in your input data.
