setting the output field separator in awk

Question

I\'n trying this statement in my awk script (in a file containing separate code, so not inline), script name: print-table.awk

BEGIN {FS = \"\\t\";OFS = \",\"         


        

Answer 1

You need to alter one of the field in awk:

awk 'BEGIN {FS="\t";OFS=","; print "about to open the file"} {$1=$1}1' file
