Thanks guys very much. I was able to use the substr function in order to read in the fixed columns. I am also considering doing the gawks' fieldwidth thing, but would that affect the performance? I am to be working on around 800,000 records so it also needs to be pretty efficient.
Also, is there is a quick function in awk that lets you strip away leading and trailing whitespace from a string? I was thinking of using the 'split' function to store the string into an array and then printing out the array, but that seems to be overkill. Any help would be appreciated.
Please let me know

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
