How to read rows and columns via awk with special character separator

Question

Can this be done more easily in a single command?

Read line 10 and column 2 from the file where the separator is ^

cat file | awk 'FNR==10 {print}' | awk -v  FS=^ '{print $2}' 

Answer 1

如果^是所有记录的主/公用字段分隔符-只需应用以下awk表达式就足够了：

awk -F'^' 'NR==10{ print $2; exit }' file
