OFS is inbuild command in awk.
I have a file file.txt

abc : def : ghi
jkl : mno: pqr
stu : vwx :yzz

code i used:
awk -F ":" 'BEGIN {OFS="|"} {print $1,$2}' file.txt

output:
abc def
jkl mno
stu vwx

but as i have used OFS="|" and i am expecting output as:

abc | def
jkl | mno
stu | vwx

I am on the rite track?

works for me:

$ cat newfile.txt
abc : def : ghi
jkl : mno: pqr
stu : vwx :yzz
$ awk -F ":" 'BEGIN {OFS="|"} {print $1,$2}' newfile.txt
abc | def
jkl | mno
stu | vwx
$

Yeah..... rite actually i used {print $1" "$2} instead {print $1,$2}
and while giving d post i used the correct syntax
