compare second column of a file then print the first column of it in a ne fil if true

I have this input in my file.txt

213.236.6.230 58 1435
213.236.6.249 24 1532
213.236.9.58 19 67
213.236.10.80 9 1226
213.236.9.193 3 203

I need to compare if 58 > 10, if it is i will save 213.236.6.230 in file2.txt if not go to the next line and so on. Please help.

Try this...

Code:

awk '{if ($2 > 10) {print $1}}' $InFile > $OutFile

You can also bypass the "if" as anything outside a pair of {} will be evaluated:

Code:

awk '$2 > 10{print $1}' file > outfile
