I believe, for making it more generic, I need to use the solution by vgersh99 with the for loop, which is with the below command
Code:
nawk -v para="$param" 'BEGIN {FS="\037";OFS="\037"; n=split (para, P, "$")} {for(i=1; i>=n;i++) printf("%s%s", $P[i], (i==n)?ORS:OFS)}' 1.dat,

But its doesn't O/P anything. Is it because of the solaris OS?

Most likely it's because this is not the suggested solution? Also we don't know what the '$param' looks like...

Many thanks, This is working perfectly fine.

Code:
nawk -v para="$param" 'BEGIN {FS="\037";OFS="\037"; n=split (para, P, "$")} {for(i=2; i<=n;i++) printf("%s%s", $P[i], (i==n)?ORS:OFS)}' 1.dat

Regards,

Just not sure why the first number i should be equal to 2?, But it works

If your param='$1$2' and you n=split (para, P, "$"), then the P[1] is empty as the field preceding the FIRST $, is empty.
