damnit :-) just beat me to it .

I had a slightly different approach :

awk '{for(x=6; x<=NF;x++){if($x ~ /AB/){z++}}} END{if (z == NF-6) print }'

EDIT: yours will be bit more efficient, coming to think of it

One of the easiest ways

cat your_file.csv | grep "AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB AB" > my_selected.file
