Hello ritakadm,

Following may help you.
Code:
awk '
BEGIN { FS = OFS = "\t"                                                        # Setting Field seperator and Output field seprator as tab
        fields[++nf] = 2                                                           # Creating an array named fields whose index is nf (which has values 1, 2 up to 3) and value is 2, 3 and 4
        fields[++nf] = 3                                                           # Assigning 2nd element as value 3 whose index is 2
        fields[++nf] = 4                                                           # Assigning 3rd element to array fields whose index is 3
