Thank you disedorgue. It worked the way I wanted.

But one last question. How can I pass a variable for DB_NM instead of hard coding every time?

I tried to set something like this before awk and below is the output.

Input:

Code:
export TBL_DB="DATABASE";

awk '/CREATE UNIQUE INDEX/,/)/ {
if(/CREATE UNIQUE INDEX|\(/) {
  next
}
if (!/\)/){
  A=A $NF
}
else{
  X=$NF
  gsub(/TABLE_|;/,"",X)
  print "COMMENT ON TABLE ${TBL_DB}." X " AS \047PK=," A "; \047;"
}
}' input_index.txt > cmnt1.txt

and the output I am getting is

Code:
COMMENT ON TABLE ${TBL_DB}.TABLE_NM AS 'PK=,COL1,COL2; ';


But I want the output to be something like this

Code:
COMMENT ON TABLE DATABASE.TABLE_NM AS 'PK=,COL1,COL2; ';

Appreciate your help.

Thanks,
V
