You'll get a better answer if you mention what system, what shell, sample input data and expected output. I suspect there is an easier way to get what you need but more detailed info is needed.

Code:
 
awk -F "," '{print $8,$9}

"," is not the delimiter in you sample input, instead it's space.

Please post what Operating System and version you have and what Shell you are running.

Please post sample output. Because your code does not work we cannot guess what it was intended to do.
