I have two question wrt the field separator.
If the field separator is ^A in the file, why do we have 2 backslashes, i thought one would be enough.
If 2 backslashes it mean literally FS= \^A
Good questions.
From the GNU awk manual (p 46,-47 from rhe pdf version)
Quote:
... with Unix awk and gawk, the
assignment ‘FS = "\.."' assigns the character string ".." to FS (the backslash is stripped).
This creates a regexp meaning “fields are separated by occurrences of any two characters.”
If instead you want fields to be separated by a literal period followed by any single character,
use ‘FS = "\\.."'.
So in the assignment you loose one backslash and in order to get \^ you need \\^.
Quote:
How does adding another one backslash to the existing 2 backslashes work in the script.?
This is special to the old-style backquote form of substitution `...`, it just removes a \
when it's followed by another \, from the manual pages of bash:
Quote:
When the old-style backquote form of substitution is used, backslash retains its literal meaning except when
followed by $, `, or \. The first backquote not preceded by a backslash terminates the command substitution.
When using the $(command) form, all characters between the parentheses make up the command; none are treated
specially.

page_util_quote - page character quoting utilities
SYNOPSIS
package require page::util::quote ?0.1?
package require snit
::page::util::quote::unquote char
::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char
::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char
::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This package provides a few utility commands to convert characters into various forms.
API
::page::util::quote::unquote char
A character, as stored in an abstract syntax tree by a PEG processor (See the packages grammar::peg::interpreter, grammar::me, and
their relations), i.e. in some quoted form, is converted into the equivalent Tcl character. The character is returned as the result
of the command.
::page::util::quote::quote'tcl char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser, will
regenerate the character in question and is 7bit ASCII. The string is returned as the result of this command.
::page::util::quote::quote'tclstr char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser and
will generate a human readable representation of the character in question. The string is returned as the result of this command.
The string does not use any unprintable characters. It may use backslash-quoting. High UTF characters are quoted to avoid problems
with the still prevalent ascii terminals. It is assumed that the string will be used in a double-quoted environment.
::page::util::quote::quote'tclcom char
This command takes a Tcl character (internal representation) and converts it into a string which is accepted by the Tcl parser when
used within a Tcl comment. The string is returned as the result of this command.
