Thanks
Thanks Vgersh99 that looks close to what i need, though i cant use nawk and i dont think i can manipulate the output string the same way in awk. I ended up using a different method, crude but it worked.
filename=$1
dell=$2
keep=$3
echo $keep | awk -F"," '{ORS=" " }{OFS=""}{gtw=","} {for(i=1;i <=NF;i++){ print "$",$i,gtw; if((i+1) == NF) gtw="" } }' | read output
i="awk -F\"$dell\" 'BEGIN{OFS=FS}{print $output}' $filename"
echo $i > temp.sh
chmod 700 temp.sh
temp.sh
