Working with DBF files

• Extract the text contents of a DBF file with dbfxtrct, select out the 3rd and 2nd columns with awk, keep only unique rows with sort and uniq, and finally saving to a new file called 'ca_fips-name_list.txt' with shell redirection.
  
  # dbfxtrct utility
  dbfxtrct -ica_counties_aea83.dbf | awk -F"," '{print $3","$2}' | sort -g | uniq > ca_fips-name_list.txt
