I am basically needing an "exhaustive list" with changes like these documented.

Makes sense, When you use NR, does gsub splits fields into lines ?

i.e
Line1: A,
Line2: B,B ##had quotes
Line3: ,C,D,
Line4: A,B ##had quotes
Line5: ,E,
Line6: GG,H ##had quotes
...

yes thanks, that works fine but w/ nawk, btw can you please explain what NR%2 is doing here and what does '1' at the end mean in gsub

It again has the same problem. I want "Jim,212121,Seattle" should be coming before "Jim,212121,Ohio" as that comes first in the order in the file.
