awk command issue

zgrep 'MobileDevice' xyz.log.20181121.gz|grep 'USER123'| awk '$0>= "2018-Nov-21 00:01" && $0<="2018-Nov-21 23:59"' | awk -F '|' '$24>300 {print}'
above grep printing all the columns successfully satisfying abov condition of

$24>300


Now i need to filter above query based on the state like Florida which is printing in 23rd column i.e $23

zgrep 'MobileDevice' xyz.log.20181121.gz|grep 'USER123'| awk '$0>= "2018-Nov-21 00:01" && $0<="2018-Nov-21 23:59"' | awk -F '|' '$23=FLORIDA {print}'

= is assignment  / == is comparing for equality
FLORIDA is a variable...
so try $23 == "FLORIDA" as condition.

Hi,

the awk equal comparison operator is '==' like noci said.

Read up here for examples.

You miss one quote after 300. Add also a space between  -F '|' and the next argument. So try this:
zgrep 'MobileDevice' xyz.log.20181121.gz|grep 'USER123'| awk '$0>= "2018-Nov-21 00:01" && $0<="2018-Nov-21 23:59"' | awk -F '|' '$24>300'  | awk -F '|'  '$17==300 {print}'
