generate CSV file using AWK script
Hi guys

I have a text report that consists of text in some parts and data in some parts.
e.g
Report for changes in cashflows

No changes were found

Report for changes in Bills

deal_num deal_date trader maturity log_creator
DF_234 20-5-2008 tman 20-5-2009 tman
DF_235 23-5-2008 tmix 20-5-2010 tmix
DF_236 24-5-2008 tmee 20-5-2009 tmee
DF_237 27-5-2008 xlog 22-5-2009 tlog

4 row(s) found
... the report goes on and on like that

The issue is that i want to convert the whole report into CSV format,including the text.The data shown above should also be converted to csv with the heading and data correctly matched. and aligned

The script that generates the report is an AWK script and i want to use an AWK script as well to generate the CSV file from this report and store it in some location.

Any help or ideas on how to go about it.I am very new to unix AWK scripting.

Thanks in advance.

mysqlbug

MYSQLBUG(1)						       MySQL Database System						       MYSQLBUG(1)

NAME

       mysqlbug - generate bug report

SYNOPSIS

       mysqlbug

DESCRIPTION

       This program enables you to generate a bug report and send it to Oracle Corporation. It is a shell script and runs on Unix.

       The normal way to report bugs is to visit http://bugs.mysql.com/, which is the address for our bugs database. This database is public and
       can be browsed and searched by anyone. If you log in to the system, you can enter new reports. If you have no Web access, you can generate
       a bug report by using the mysqlbug script.

       mysqlbug helps you generate a report by determining much of the following information automatically, but if something important is missing,
       please include it with your message.  mysqlbug can be found in the scripts directory (source distribution) and in the bin directory under
       your MySQL installation directory (binary distribution).

       Invoke mysqlbug without arguments:

	   shell> mysqlbug

       The script will place you in an editor with a copy of the report to be sent. Edit the lines near the beginning that indicate the nature of
       the problem. Then write the file to save your changes, quit the editor, and mysqlbug will send the report by email.
