Data help with awk ... almost there

I have a .cvs file that I have re-formatted for loading that sometimes has multiple data rows on the same row with common values. I have managed to get all the rows where I want except a few and want to evaluate if the combined ending value matches 1Q-02BBL1 since I am combining 1Q-02B and BL1 if the last and first value match omit one of them. I know that it is showing up in my substr(word1,1,6) in my final else... I just don't know what statement to put in front of it in the else if .. to compensate before I finalize it ....

awk script

{FS=",";
n=split($1,a,"/")
q=split(a[1],r,"L1")
word1=a[1]
word2=a[2]
split(a[1],r,"L1"); split($1,a,"/"); split($6,b,"/"); split($7,c,"/"); for (i=1; i<=n; i++)
if ( n == 1 )
printf ("%-25s%-36s%-9s%-9s%-9s%-15s%-15s\n",$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7)
else
if ( substr(word1,1,3) == substr(word2,1,3) )
printf ("%-25s%-36s%-9s%-9s%-9s%-15s%-15s\n",a[i],$2,$3,$4,$5,b[i],c[i])
else
if ( i == 1 )
printf ("%-25s%-36s%-9s%-9s%-9s%-15s%-15s\n",a[i],$2,$3,$4,$5,b[i],c[i])
else
if (i >= 2 && r[1] > 1 )
printf ("%-25s%-36s%-9s%-9s%-9s%-15s%-15s\n",r[1]a[i],$2,$3,$4,$5,b[i],c[i])
else
printf ("%-25s%-36s%-9s%-9s%-9s%-15s%-15s\n",substr(word1,1,6)a[i],$2,$3,$4,$5,b[i],c[i])
}

last record is wrapped ... but is one line


Output Issue: in the whole file only two evalute to this problem ...


1Q-02B CTD Sidetrack 11/06/05 11/08/05 11/27/05 8540 11501
1Q-02BBL1 CTD Sidetrack 11/06/05 11/08/05 11/27/05 9602 12050

The problem is the "BB" value ... if the ending character of the value matches the beginning values of a[i] then I want to omit one of them ... is it possible? to write something that evaluates the last value with the first values and does it ... something like [AA - ZZ]?

1Q-02B ....
1Q-02BL1...

Thanks to anyone who wants to help
