awk reading many fields to array
I want to read $3,$4,$5,$6,$7 of fileA in array and when
fileb $1 = fileA $4
the i want to print array and few fields from fileB.

This should work but has some syntax error.

Code:
nawk -F, 'FNR==NR{a[$1]=[$3,$4,$5,$6,$7];next} a[$4]{print a[$4,$1,$2,$3]}' fileB fileA

Appreciate if someone can correct this.
