nawk -f rahul.awk myFile.csv

rahul.awk:
Code:
BEGIN {
  # variable qq contains the value of double-quote
  qq=sprintf("%c", 034)

  # FieldSeparator (FS) can either be a ",", a double-quote or a string "YAHOO"
  # all the fields in a record/line will be broken down by the values of the FS
  FS="([,])|(" qq ")|(YAHOO)"
}
{
   # iterate through the fields of a current record/line starting from the FOURTH field in
   # a record/line and going to the NEXT to LAST field print: 
   # the value of the FIRST field ($1), followed by "," , followed by string "YAHOO" and 
   # followed the current iterator field ($i)
   for(i=4; i<=NF-1; i++)
     printf("%s,YAHOO%s\n", $1, $i)
}

Thanks for the script. I did run it, but I got the following output in myFile.csv

Code:
A,"YAHOO3456-K9
YAHOO9876
YAHOO67/2
YAHOO65432-1"
B,"YAHOO01
YAHOO07865
YAHOO67-AD987/1
YAHOO67/23"

I'll check and modify the script accordingly. Thanks.

given a sample file myFile.csv:
Code:
A,"YAHOO3456-K9YAHOO9876YAHOO67/2YAHOO65432-1"
B,"YAHOO01YAHOO07865YAHOO67-AD987/1YAHOO67/23"

and a script posted previously, I get the following output:
Code:
A,YAHOO3456-K9
A,YAHOO9876
A,YAHOO67/2
A,YAHOO65432-1
B,YAHOO01
B,YAHOO07865
B,YAHOO67-AD987/1
B,YAHOO67/23

Make sure you properly copy/paste the code - it does not need to be changed.

Apologies.

The format is different when I view the csv on Windows and Unix.

On windows it appears as I mentioned previously
Code:
A,"YAHOO3456-K9YAHOO9876YAHOO67/2YAHOO65432-1"
B,"YAHOO01YAHOO07865YAHOO67-AD987/1YAHOO67/23"


and on Unix it appears as follows.

Code:
A,"YAHOO3456-K9
YAHOO9876
YAHOO67/2
YAHOO65432-1"
B,"YAHOO01
YAHOO07865
YAHOO67-AD987/1
YAHOO67/23"

And hence I did not get the required o/p. I will modify your script accordingly.

Thanks.
