AWK Formatting Problem

Hi All,

I'm having a problem with the way awk is interperting a space between double quotes in a for loop. Below is the code and output from running the script:

AWK for loop:

for i in $(awk 'BEGIN{FS=","}{print "Probe Name:" $1};{print "Probe Temp:" $2};{
print "\n--------------------------------"}' < "edgewater-temps.csv" )
do
echo $i
done

Script output:
Probe
Name:CRAC-02A
Probe
Temp:73.0
--------------------------------
Probe
Name:CRAC-01
Probe
Temp:61.8
--------------------------------
Probe
Name:CRAC-12
Probe
Temp:67.8
--------------------------------
Probe
Name:CRAC-02
Probe
Temp:66.7
--------------------------------

Expected output:
Probe Name:CRAC-02A
Probe Temp:73.0
--------------------------------
Probe Name:CRAC-01
Probe Temp:61.8
--------------------------------
Probe Name:CRAC-12
Probe Temp:67.8
--------------------------------
Probe Name:CRAC-02
Probe Temp:66.7
--------------------------------

Question: Why is awk creating a newline for a space between double quotes?

Any help would be greatly apreciated.

Thanks,

Charles
