AWK doubt
Hello people
I have a doubt about awk... I´m using it to create a condition where I do not want to use the 0 (zero) value of a certain column.
- This is the original file:
string,number,date
abc,0,20050101
def,1,20060101
ghi,2,20040101
jkl,12,20090101
mno,123,20020101
pqr,1234,20020101
stu,0,20000101
- This is the awk line that I´m using:
awk -F, 'BEGIN {OSF=","} { if ($2 != 0) print $1, $2, $3}' TEST.csv >> RESULT.csv
However the result is:
date number string
def 1 20060101
ghi 2 20040101
jkl 12 20090101
mno 123 20020101
pqr 1234 20020101
Can anyone tell me why it losts the ",". What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?
Regards
Rafael Buria
