awk print columns and variable

Hi,

Can anyone help with the below please?

I have written some code which takes an input file, and and prints the contents out to a new file - it then loops round and prints the same columns, but increments the ID column by 1 each time.

Input file;

Code:
NAME,1,15-Dec-15,
NAME,1,21-Dec-15,
NAME,1,31-Jan-16,

Expected output;

Code:
NAME,1,15-Dec-15,
NAME,1,21-Dec-15,
NAME,1,31-Jan-16,
NAME,2,15-Dec-15,
NAME,2,21-Dec-15,
NAME,2,31-Jan-16,
NAME,3,15-Dec-15,
NAME,3,21-Dec-15,
NAME,3,31-Jan-16,

Code:
VAR_ID=1
touch newfile.csv
while [ $VAR_ID -le 3 ]
do
        while read line
        do
        echo $line | awk -v var="$VAR_ID" -F "," 'BEGIN {print $1 var $3}' >> newfile.csv
        done < inputfile.csv

VAR_ID=`expr $VAR_ID + 1`
done

When i run currently, it just prints out the incremental numbers i.e.

Code:
1
1
1
2
2
2
3
3
3

Can anyone help please?

irsend [options] DIRECTIVE REMOTE CODE [CODE...] DESCRIPTION
Asks the lircd daemon to send one or more CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) commands. This is intended for remote control of electronic devices such as TV boxes, HiFi sets, etc. DIRECTIVE can be: SEND_ONCE - send CODE [CODE ...] once SEND_START - start repeating CODE SEND_STOP - stop repeating CODE LIST - list configured remote items SET_TRANSMITTERS - set transmitters NUM [NUM ...] SIMULATE - simulate IR event REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described in the lircd configuration file. CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file. NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device. For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty: LIST "" "" - list all configured remote names LIST REMOTE "" - list all codes of REMOTE LIST REMOTE CODE - list only CODE of REMOTE The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd. -h --help display usage summary -v --version display version -d --device use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd] -a --address=host[:port] connect to lircd at this address -# --count=n send command n times EXAMPLES
