hey Kshiji,
Thanks for the reply.

Please note that I have to do this inside the script.
I cannot use to store in an output file like
nawk -f csv2pipe.awk raw.txt > result.txt

I want to use something like
nawk -f csv2pipe.awk raw.txt out.txt

And get the result in out.txt ie $1 parameter to the script.

Can you suggest a way to do this?
