                          I want to apply grep on particular column in column command.

myfile.txt

    3,ST,ST01,3,3,856
    3,ST,ST02,4,9,0234
    6,N1,N101,2,3,ST
    6,N1,N102,1,60,Comcast
    6,N1,N103,1,2,92

My Command:

    column -s, -t < myfile.txt | grep -w "ST"

Here I want to only grep the pattern ST in 2nd column. How to do this ?

**Expected Result:**

    3       ST            ST01              3            3            856
    3       ST            ST02              4            9            0234
