I am facing an issue while cutting fields with comma delimiter. There are many records with Double quotes in between.
My data: aaa,bbb,"ccc, ddd",eee,fff,"ggg ,hhh",iii
When i use cut command with comma delimiter, i am getting wrong data like
Code:
field1=aaa
field2=bbb
field3="ccc
field4= ddd"
But i need data like
Code:
field1=aaa
field2=bbb
field3="ccc, ddd"

Krish
