Awk code and sample data
Code:
fields=$(sed -r -e 's/-1/ /g' -e 's/,/ FS /g' \
  -e 's/([0-9]+)/\$\1/g' control_file.txt)

The first command converts control_file.txt into a suitable awk command like below,
control file contain the index need to be cut from the sample.csv

$1 FS $3 FS $5 FS FS $8 FS FS $4

Then passing to awk
Code:
awk -F, "{print ${fields}}" $1

Sample.csv
Code:
BP ID,Prepaid Account No,CurrentMonetary balance ,charge Plan names ,Provider contract id,Contract Item ID,Start Date,End Date

Hello rspwilliam,

You can use ' character in place of " and try as follows.
Code:
awk -F, '{print {$1 FS $3 FS $5 FS FS $2}}' Sample.csv

Thanks,
