Thanks a lot. Could you please explain logic as well?
print is not used here then how come it is printing whole line? What if i want to print specific columns only?
-F "," - use comma as the field separator
$4 != "CAR" {$4 = "BIKE"} - if field 4 is not 'CAR' then set field 4 to BIKE (note that this will replace anything that isn't CAR, not just empty ones)
1 - always TRUE (which matches every input line and prints it, since that's the default action)
OFS="," - use comma as the output field separator
EDIT: If you only want to print specific fields you could change (3) to (e.g.):
to just print fields 1 and 4.
