awk command to manipulate csv file in UNIX
Hi,

I am new to awk/unix and am trying to put together a script to manipulate the date column in a csv file.

I have file1.csv with the following contents:

Code:
Date,ID,Number,Amount,Volume,Size
01-Apr-2014,WERFG,998,105873.96,10873.96,1342.11
01-Apr-2014,POYFR,267,5681.44,5681.44,462.96

I want to format the date column as follows -> yyyy-mm-dd and want the output saved in a tempfile:

Code:
Date,ID,Number,Amount,Volume,Size
2014-04-01,WERFG,998,105873.96,10873.96,1342.11
2014-04-01,POYFR,267,5681.44,5681.44,462.96

Is there a simple awk script to achieve this?

Appreciate the help!!

Thanks,

             sep="-"
             }
    NR>1   { split($1,a,sep) 
             $1=a[3] sep months[a[2]] sep a[1]
           }1' OFS=\, FS=\, file1.csv > tempfile
