Pamu, Thanks very much for your answer.
Please check the details of the requirements below:
The next month i might get a record like this
"Menstrain,arr",A0022699,"Woodstock,IL",2,"A001,3195",RockfordIL,"A001,3243","Chicago,america",EMERG INGQUALITY
will your script work for the above ?
My point is the script should replace comma with pipeline at the same time it should check whether the column has comma inside the double qouted qualifier for each record and shouldnt replace those. A column will have double qoutes in the data only if it has comma inside it. Next month i may get different column which has comma inside it and being double qouted.
Why you don't try by yourself...?
Please use code tags for code and data sample.
And always provide every details about input and desired output.
Please try to give your desired output.

cut
CUT(1) General Commands Manual CUT(1)NAME
cut - select out columns of a file
SYNOPSIS
cut [ -b | -c] list [file...]
cut -f list [-d delim] [ -s]
OPTIONS -b Cut specified bytes
-c Select out specific characters
-d Change the column delimiter to delim
-f Select out specific fields that are separated by the
-i Runs of delimiters count as one
-s Suppres lines with no delimiter characters, when used
EXAMPLES
cut -f 2 file # Extract field 2
cut -c 1-2,5 file # Extract character columns 1, 2, and 5
cut -c 1-5,7- file # Extract all columns except 6
DESCRIPTION
[file...]" delimiter character ( see delim)" with the -f option. Lines with no delimiters are passwd through untouched"
Cut extracts one or more fields or columns from a file and writes them on standard output. If the -f flag is used, the fields are sepa-
rated by a delimiter character, normally a tab, but can be changed using the -d flag. If the -c flag is used, specific columns can be
specified. The list can be comma or BLANK separated. The -f and -c flags are mutually exclusive. Note: The POSIX1003.2 standard requires
the option -b to cut out specific bytes in a file. It is intended for systems with multi byte characters (e.g. kanji), since MINIX uses
only one byte characters, this option is equivalent to -c. For the same reason, the option -n has no effect and is not listed in this man-
ual page.
