for(i in length(a)) is incorrect use for(i in a).
Also some field numbers don't match your posted data

Try this:

Code:
awk -F":" 'BEGIN{print " Name, Info, Rid, Groups, Allowed Capabilities, Status"}{split ($8,a,","); for (i in a) print $2","$4","$6","a[i]","$10}' RS= mytxt3

Sorry for the trouble again guys.
I have similar task to do on a windows platform. I have installed UnixUtils to use gawk.
This is the command I am using (different type of input file but structure is same)

Input file:
Code:
User Name:        Administrator
Description:      Generic Admin User
Role:             ERM Administrator
Last Login Date:  Apr 12, 2012 4:47:07 PM
User Name:        dba1
Description:      DBA TEAM
Role:             ERM Administrator
Last Login Date:  Mar 5, 2012 1:04:35 PM
User Name:        operator
Description:      Operations TEAM
Role:             ERM Operator
Last Login Date:  Apr 6, 2012 1:13:19 PM

Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\UnixUtils\usr\local\wbin>gawk -F":" "BEGIN{ print \"User Name, Description, Role, Last Login Date\"}{print $2\",\"$4\
",\"$6\",\"$8}" RS= mytxt.txt
User Name, Description, Role, Last Login Date
        Administrator,      Generic Admin User,             ERM Administrator,  Apr 12, 2012 4

GAWK process only the first record. Why it doesn't continue. I suspect I am not doing correctly with RS in WIN GAWK. Any help please?

Thanks
