I have a text file which has thousands of lines I need to extract some lines based on some key words present in the line. Like this

120611 aaaaabbbbbccccccc
120611 cccccdddddeeeeeee
120711 ddddeeeefffffffffffff

now I need to extract those lines which contains the keyword 'de' and save it to a new file

Code:

gawk "/de/" de

Works for a file named de.
