awk -v f="\"" '{printf("%s %c",$1,f);nf=$NF;for(i=2;i<NF;i++){
gsub(f,"",$i);printf(" \\%c%s\\%c",f,$i,f)}{printf("%c %s\n",f,nf)}}' infile

OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
