Hi,

Try this as a starting point. I'm not sure if the long OFS and ORS separators will work on every awk implementation, so your mileage may vary:

awk  'BEGIN  {printf  "<table>\n<tr><td>"; ORS="</td></tr>\n<tr><td>"}
      END    {ORS="\n";print "</table>"}
      NR==1  {for (i=1;i<=NF;i++) $i="<b>"$i"</b>"}
      NR>1   {$1="<b>"$1"</b>" } 
      1
     ' FS="," OFS="</td><td>"  file

First line of the output is getting comma separated.

Yes, already noticed and changed in post #2. Pls try again.

The easiest way to correct the last line is to append a small sed script:

awk ... | sed 's:^.*\(</table>\):\1:'

Syntax Error The source line is 6.
 The error context is
                     >>>   <<<
 awk: 0602-502 The statement cannot be correctly parsed. The source line is 6.
        awk: 0602-540 There is a missing } character.

Don't know how I spoiled that: append a } to the line NR>1...
