Hi,

if you have three files file1, file2 and file3 with content like:

file1:
Code:
"anon@yahoo.com","anon",,,,,,,,,,,,01/16/08 08:05 PM,,"WIQC PDX"
"berti@yahoo.com","anon",,,,,,,,,,,,01/16/08 08:05 PM,,"ALBI QUAZ"

file2:
Code:
"anon@yahoo.com","anon",,,,,,,,,,,,01/16/08 08:05 PM,,"OOTA"
"berti@yahoo.com","anon",,,,,,,,,,,,01/16/08 08:05 PM,,"TUZZI"

file3:
Code:
"anon@yahoo.com","anon",,,,,,,,,,,,01/16/08 08:05 PM,,"ITOS"
"berti@yahoo.com","anon",,,,,,,,,,,,01/16/08 08:05 PM,,"PANZ"

Code:
awk -F, '{if (! a[$1]){for (i=1;i<NF;i++){s=s $i FS}a[$1]=s FS $NF;s=""} \
    else{a[$1]=a[$1] $NF}}\
    END{for (i in a){gsub(/""/,", ",a[i]); print a[i]}}' file1 file2 file3

You will get:
Code:
"berti@yahoo.com","anon",,,,,,,,,,,,01/16/08 08:05 PM,,,"ALBI QUAZ, TUZZI, PANZ"
"anon@yahoo.com","anon",,,,,,,,,,,,01/16/08 08:05 PM,,,"WIQC PDX, OOTA, ITOS"
