Extract data from fields

[tonivm]

hi everybody:
i'm newbie in awk programming language, and i've got a different files where has two fields, but in the second field has this format:

08:46:00",273510,178.1,52.68,606.6,99.4,84.9,25.57,-1.179,100.3,172.6,216.4,0.989,0.143,2.262,1.412

and my intention is separate this field by another fields for each ",".
could anybody tell me any solution.
thanks in advance.

Hi

No idea what is the point. [tt]awk[/tt] automatically splits the record on fields, according to the [tt]FS[/tt] ( field separator ) internal variable's value. You can set it to feet your needs. ( Even with the -F command line option. )

If that is not enough, please write more about your goal.

Have a look at the split function in the awk man page.

Hope This Helps, PH.
