I must say I'm a little disappointed in Lorance Stinson's CSV Parser I've had to tweak it a fair bit to get the csv_create working correctly but he does say it's a Beta version so some tweaking was expected (the csv_parse worked without a hitch).

So if you ever get embedded newlines in your fields, the attached version supports them eg:

Code:
$ cat infile
aa,bb,c,dd,ee
zz,yy,sss,ddd,ff
aa,bb,c,"dd,xx",ee
aaa,"and now,
for ""something"" interesting",d,e,f

$ awk -f add_LQ.awk.txt infile
aa,bb,c,LQdd,ee
zz,yy,sss,LQddd,ff
aa,bb,c,"LQdd,xx",ee
aaa,"and now,
for ""something"" interesting",d,LQe,f

Your CSV's may never be this complex but it's nice to have around.
