syntax error The source line is 1.
The error context is
BEGIN {FS=","}{ printf >>> % <<< s, $1 ; if ( $2=="" || $2==" ") print $2; else print substr($2,7,4)"-"substr($2,1,2) "-" substr($2,4,2), $3, $4, $5, $6 }
awk: The statement cannot be correctly parsed.
The source line is 1.
Maybe awk can't handle this. It also looks like I'd have to repeat the 'print' command for each 'else' or I won't get anything on a line where $2 is blank - which is way too tedious because my actual file has 35 columns with dates in various columns to reformat. Also, I'm not just reformatting dates but other fields as well in (i.e. if blank don't reformat) but this solution would help me to do the other columns.

Hi,
I'm trying to reformat a file to create a new columns reflecting the previous 2 over and over. By that I mean currently each observation has two columns and I want to create a third which has a value equal to 1 minus the sum of the previous two.

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSuUser(Contributed Perl DocumPerl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr(3)NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr - Use 4-argument "substr" instead of writing "substr($foo, 2, 6) = $bar".
AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.
DESCRIPTION
Conway discourages the use of "substr()" as an lvalue, instead recommending that the 4-argument version of "substr()" be used instead.
substr($something, 1, 2) = $newvalue; # not ok
substr($something, 1, 2, $newvalue); # ok
The four-argument form of "substr()" was introduced in Perl 5.005. This policy does not report violations on code which explicitly
specifies an earlier version of Perl (e.g. "use 5.004;").
CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
SEE ALSO
"substr" in perlfunc (or "perldoc -f substr").
"4th argument to substr" in perl5005delta
