2014-06-13 14:07:14 IanBall summary When specifying a field separator with {FS=","}, the separator is not applied tp the first line When specifying a field separator with {FS=","}, the separator is not applied to the first line
2014-06-13 14:08:41 IanBall description I have a csv input file where I want to extract specific fields. When I cat that file into mawk using the {FS=","} within the brackets, the first line of output is as if the field separator was still a space instead of the comma that I specified. From the second line onwards, the comma field separator is honoured. The first three lines of output from the command I am using are: $ cat LUN.csv | awk '{FS=","} {print $2","$5","$14","$17","$20","$23","$26","$29","$32","$35","$77","$78","$79","$80","$81","$82","$83","$84","$85","$86","$87","$88","$89","$90","$91","$92","$93","$94","$95","$96","$97","$98}' 60,5;,naa.600601605d212700a1c3b23a8a6ae011;,naa.600601605d212700a1c3b23a8a6ae011;,naa.600601605d212700a1c3b23a8a6ae011],06/02/2014,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, 06/02/2014 12:05:22,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 06/02/2014 12:07:36,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0.000000,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0 If I try the command using the -F "," flag instead the first line of output also has the comma field separator honoured.
