Try
Code:
awk -F,    '
FNR==1          {for (n=1; n<=NF; n++) {if ($n==COL) KEYCOL=n}
                 next
                }
$1==KEY         {print $KEYCOL}
'  KEY=CHICAGO COL=COUNTY   file
COOK

In case you have one parameter with the keywords separated by "&", try

Code:
awk -F,    '
FNR==1          {gsub (" ", "", KEY)
                 split (KEY, Karr, "&")
                 for (n=1; n<=NF; n++) {if ($n==Karr[2]) KEYCOL=n}
                 next
                }
$1==Karr[1]     {print $KEYCOL}
'  KEY="CHICAGO & COUNTY"   file

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
