awk gsub not working as expected
Hi Experts,
Need your kind help with gsub awk.

Below is my pattern:
Code:
"exec=1_host_cnt=100_dup=4_NameTag=targetSrv_500.csv","'20171122112948"," 100"," 1"," 1"," 4","400","","",
"  aac sample exec ""hostname=XXXXX commandline='timeout 10 openssl  speed -multi 2 ; exit 0'""      ","-1","-1","1"," 234","",""," 70","","400",
"81.124","182","37","158.87","52.0","120.0","120.0","1511.3275","38.87","255"

While running without gsub it is fine
Code:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -iname "out*.csv" -exec awk -F "," '{print "No of Errors : " $13}' {} \;

Retruns 13 column value with double quotes which represents no of errors occured which I want to get rid of. So using gsub but it is returning me strange behavior(sometime 1 , sometime 2)
Code:
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -iname "out*.csv" -exec awk -F "," '{print "No of Errors : "gsub(/^"|"$/, "", $13)}' {} \;

Later I want to extend the implementation to if condition
Code:
if no of errors is ==0. then print no error
else do something

BR,
PD

IGAWK(1)							 Utility Commands							  IGAWK(1)

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
