Using awk for converting xml to txt

Hi,

I have a xml script, I converted it to .txt with values comma seperated using awk function. But I want the output values should be inside double quotes

My xml script (Workorders.xml) is shown like below:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<scbm-extract version="3.3">
<workOrderList>
<workOrder>
<workOrderCode>313194073</workOrderCode>
<branchCode>2021:1206</branchCode>
<demand></demand>
<demandLineItem></demandLineItem>
<priority></priority>
<completionDate>2016-07-10T08:00:00</completionDate>
</workOrder>


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I used the below awk command to do this (awk script copied from previous posts)

Code:
awk -f jobxml.awk WorkOrders.xml

jobxml.awk

Code:
BEGIN { FS="[<>]";      OFS=","         }
# Single close-tag
(NF==3) && /^[ \t]*<[/]/        {

        $0=""

        if(!TITLE)      # Print a title line
        {
                for(N=1; N<=L; N++)     $N=T[N]
                print
                TITLE=1
        }

        for(N=1; N<=L; N++)     {       $N=A[T[N]];     delete A[T[N]]  }
        print
}

$2 && $4 && ($2 == substr($4, 2)) {
        if(!T[$2]) { T[$2]=++L; T[L]=$2 }       # Save titles for later
        gsub(/^[ \t]*/, "", $3);                # Get rid of spaces in data
        gsub(/[ \t]*$/, "", $3);
        A[$2]=$3                                # Save for later
}

Output comes like below:

Code:
workOrderCode,branchCode,demand,demandLineItem,priority,completionDate
313194073,2021:1206,,,,2016-07-10T08:00:00

I want to show output like below. ie output values with double quotes

Code:
workOrderCode,branchCode,demand,demandLineItem,priority,completionDate
"313194073","2021:1206","","","","2016-07-10T08:00:00"

Please help me on this

Thanks,
Viswa
