Question AWK: merge two files and replace some fields
Need some code tweak:

Code:
awk 'END {
for (i=1; i<=n; i++)
  if (f2[_[i]])
    print f2[_[i]]
}
NR == FNR {
f2[_[n = FNR] = $1] = $0
next
}
$1 in f2 { 
delete f2[$1]
}1' FS=, OFS=, 2.csv 1.csv > 3.csv

file 1.csv have:

$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6,$7,$8,$9......

file 2.csv have:

$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6

files merges fine, but I need replace file 1.csv values of fields $4,$5,$6 with values $4,$5,$6 from file 2.csv, other fields from $7... must be untouched.
