..an error is being returned when I try to run this either by itself or in a script - am I not running it right?

$ cat SLsTester_DataFile.csv | awk BEGIN{FS=OFS=","}{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){if($i=="0"){$i=""}}}1' file;

..the error given reads:

-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

your assistance is very much appreciated..

regards, Steven
