        /\"$/ {                 # Check if record end $ with double quotes "
                ORS = RS        # If yes, set Output Record Separator to Input Record Separator, by default a newline.
        }

        !/\"$/ {                # Check if record does not ! end $ with double quotes "
                ORS = FS        # If yes, set Output Record Separator to Input Field Separator, by default a space.

        {
                print $0        # Print current record.
