Count Fields with Quoted Field
Hi,
I used to count number of fields using following command
HTML Code:
head -1 <filename> | awk -F"," '{print NF}'
Now the scenario is the delimiter(comma) occurs inside one of the data field. How to ignore the comma inside data and consider only delimiter and count number of fields. The fields are enclosed in double quotes.
Example:
"1","FirstName,LastName","City"

fmlcut
fmlcut(1F) FMLI Commands fmlcut(1F)
NAME
fmlcut - cut out selected fields of each line of a file
SYNOPSIS
fmlcut -clist [filename]...
fmlcut -flist [-dchar] [-s] [filename]...
DESCRIPTION
The fmlcut function cuts out columns from a table or fields from each line in filename; in database parlance, it implements the projection
of a relation. fmlcut can be used as a filter; if filename is not specified or is -, the standard input is read. list specifies the fields
to be selected. Fields can be fixed length (character positions) or variable length (separated by a field delimiter character), depending
on whether -c or -f is specified.
Note: Either the -c or the -f option must be specified.
OPTIONS
list A comma-separated list of integer field numbers (in increasing order), with optional - to indicate ranges. For example: 1,4,7;
1-3,8; -5,10 (short for 1-5,10); or 3- (short for third through last field).
-clist If -c is specified, list specifies character positions (for instance, -c1-72 would pass the first 72 characters of each line).
Note: No space intervenes between -c and list.
-flist If -f is specified, list is a list of fields assumed to be separated in the file by the default delimiter character, TAB, or by
char if the -d option is specified. For example, -f1,7 copies the first and seventh field only. Lines with no delimiter charac-
ters are passed through intact (useful for table subheadings), unless -s is specified. Note: No space intervenes between -f and
list. The following options can be used if you have specified -f.
-dchar If -d is specified, char is the field delimiter. Space or other characters with special meaning to FMLI must be quoted.
Note: No space intervenes between -d and char . The default field delimiter is TAB.
-s Suppresses lines with no delimiter characters. If -s is not specified, lines with no delimiters will be passed through
untouched.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Getting login IDs and names
The following example gets the login IDs and names.
example% fmlcut -d: -f1,5 /etc/passwd
Example 2 Getting the current login name
The next example gets the current login name.
example% `who am i | fmlcut -f1 -d" "`

DIAGNOSTICS
fmlcut returns the following exit values:
0 when the selected field is successfully cut out
2 on syntax errors
The following error messages may be displayed on the FMLI message line:
ERROR: line too long
A line has more than 1023 characters or fields, or there is no new-line character.
ERROR: bad list for c/f option
Missing -c or -f option or incorrectly specified list. No error occurs if a line has fewer fields than the list calls for.
ERROR: no fields
The list is empty.
ERROR: no delimiter
Missing char on -d option.
NOTES
fmlcut cannot correctly process lines longer than 1023 characters, or lines with no newline character.
