I was expecting this from you only @RudiC... Actual input is very thin to paste here..this is why I specifically mentioned in 2nd response that I need to encode $2 using base64 (only).. forget the
Code:
 -F\"

please for now.

the other problem is that its a million lines file and every $2 has to be encoded using base64.. the [g]awk runs out or whatevery happens, it is giving me scambled results instead of line by line encoding using external command of base64 in linux/debian.

Anyways, thanks for your input.

NAME
base64 - base64 encode/decode data and print to standard output SYNOPSIS
base64 [OPTION]... [FILE] DESCRIPTION
Base64 encode or decode FILE, or standard input, to standard output. -w, --wrap=COLS Wrap encoded lines after COLS character (default 76). Use 0 to disable line wrapping. -d, --decode Decode data. -i, --ignore-garbage When decoding, ignore non-alphabet characters. --help Display this help and exit. --version Output version information and exit. With no FILE, or when FILE is -, read standard input. The data are encoded as described for the base64 alphabet in RFC 3548. When decoding, the input may contain newlines in addition to the bytes of the formal base64 alphabet. Use --ignore-garbage to attempt to recover from any other non-alphabet bytes in the encoded stream. AUTHOR
