Robotronic's way works.. many thanks...

Basically we have an export from an application where description fields can contain any characters. Currently on the third column this is defined as enabled, if the value is 3 we keep the record, if anything else we disregard it. As in my initial example if i just did a test on the third field in awk (using -F, as the delimeter) then in row 2 the third field would be "comma", in 3 it would be "can". So would get excluded when they should be included.

string pg_fetch_result (resource $result, mixed $field) pg_fetch_result(3) returns the value of a particular row and field (column) in a PostgreSQL result resource. Note This function used to be called pg_result(3). PARAMETERS
o $result - PostgreSQL query result resource, returned by pg_query(3), pg_query_params(3) or pg_execute(3) (among others). o $row - Row number in result to fetch. Rows are numbered from 0 upwards. If omitted, next row is fetched. o $field - A string representing the name of the field (column) to fetch, otherwise an int representing the field number to fetch. Fields are numbered from 0 upwards.
