insert a field into a tab delimited file
Hello,
Can someone help me to do this with awk or sed? I have a file with multiple lines, each line has many fields separated with a tab. I would like to add one more field holding 'na' in between the first and second fields.
old file looks like,
1, field1 field2 field3 ...
2, field1 field2 field3 field4 ...
.
.
output:
1, field1 na field2 field3 ...
2, field1 na field2 field3 field4 ...
.
.
Many thanks

DESCRIPTION
Retrieves information about the given table.
PARAMETERS
o $database_name
- The database name.
o $table_name
- The table name.
o $
link_identifier -A FrontBase link identifier returned by fbsql_connect(3) or fbsql_pconnect(3).If optional and not specified, the
function will try to find an open link to the FrontBase server and if no such link is found it will try to create one as if
fbsql_connect(3) was called with no arguments.

fbsql_list_fields(3) example
<?php
$link = fbsql_connect('localhost', 'myname', 'secret');
$fields = fbsql_list_fields("database1", "table1", $link);
$columns = fbsql_num_fields($fields);
for ($i = 0; $i < $columns; $i++) {
echo fbsql_field_name($fields, $i) . "
