I'm confused. You awk program prints 3 values (and not the first three of the five you say are being output) and you give output column positions for 4 values.

Please give us a clear example explaining which fields you want selected from your sample input lines and show us what the output should actually look like. Please use code tags when you post your input file contents, code segments, and expected output examples.
