The line break '\' is used for display purposes in the source code of any awk program. Meaning, when you have a long line of code and you want to clarify the source code by neatly breaking the long line. It is not part of the output display of the program.
If you want to display break lines in the out put of awk use "\n"
e.g.
As you see, that doesn't help much with the neatly display in columns. Every comma between fields will display the default outfield separator which is a space.
Now, you can change the default with perhaps a tab
Otherwise, play with the built-in function printf

I'm using a barcode scanner to grab ISBNs. Unfortunately, short of hitting "enter" each time (not easy while on a ladder), there's no good way to split it up. So I scanned it into a series of long lines in notepad.
Now, I need to split each line into 12-number lines.
