Hi yifangt, you are welcome. Here is an explanation:
awk -F'[ \t:;,]*' | Use zero or more repetitions of the characters in square brackets as field separators |
split($0,T) | Split the record $0 into array T, using FS as field separator, effectively creating a copy of $1 to $NF (allowing the reuse of $1 to $NF for output..) |
for(i=NF;i>=2;i--) | reading backwards from the last field number to the 2nd .. |
if (T[i]~/m[0-9]/) | if the array copy of field number "i" contains "m" followed by a digit, |
{sub(/m/,x,T[i]) | remove the letter m from that field. |
$(T[i]+1)=c | Store the character contained in variable c into the field number contained in T[i] + 1. If for example T[i] contains 4 than store in $5 |
else c=T[i] | if the array copy of field number "i" does not contain m followed by a digit, it must be a new value which gets stored in variable c |
NF=11 | Cut off fields $12 until $NF, so that 11 fields remain |
1 | Print every record |
OFS="\t" | Use tab as output field separator |
With your actual raw data what is the required output?

Hi All,
I need to BCP out a table into a text file along with the table headers. Normal BCP out command only bulk copies the data, and not the headers.
I am using the following command: bcp database1..table1 out file1.dat -c -t\| -b1000 -A8192 -Uuser -Ppassword -efile.dat.err

I am definitely not an expert with awk, and I want to reformat a text file like the following. This is probably a very easy one for an expert out there. I would like to keep the lines in the same order, but move the heading to only be listed once above the lines.

JOIN(1) General Commands Manual JOIN(1)
NAME
join - relational database operator
SYNOPSIS
join [ options ] file1 file2
DESCRIPTION
Join forms, on the standard output, a join of the two relations specified by the lines of file1 and file2. If file1 is `-', the standard
input is used.
File1 and file2 must be sorted in increasing ASCII collating sequence on the fields on which they are to be joined, normally the first in
each line.
There is one line in the output for each pair of lines in file1 and file2 that have identical join fields. The output line normally con-
sists of the common field, then the rest of the line from file1, then the rest of the line from file2.
Fields are normally separated by blank, tab or newline. In this case, multiple separators count as one, and leading separators are dis-
carded.
These options are recognized:
-an In addition to the normal output, produce a line for each unpairable line in file n, where n is 1 or 2.
-e s Replace empty output fields by string s.
-jn m Join on the mth field of file n. If n is missing, use the mth field in each file.
-o list
Each output line comprises the fields specified in list, each element of which has the form n.m, where n is a file number and m is a
field number.
-tc Use character c as a separator (tab character). Every appearance of c in a line is significant.
SEE ALSO
sort(1), comm(1), awk(1)
BUGS
With default field separation, the collating sequence is that of sort -b; with -t, the sequence is that of a plain sort.
The conventions of join, sort, comm, uniq, look and awk(1) are wildly incongruous.
