Re: delete columns csv file

Thanks. I copied your text and saved as an .awk suffix file. Then in
the command terminal I entered the command:

 awk -f file.awk file2.csv

The error received was:

awk: file.awk:1: awk -F, '
awk: file.awk:1:            ^ invalid char ''' in expression

I have been reading the awk guide courtesy of ibiblio (http://tldp.org/
LDP/Bash-Beginners-Guide/html/sect_07_01.html). Section 7111 explains
=3D=3D as being equivalent to =3D; I could use =3D if I was not concerned
about posix compliance?

I tried to replace the apostrophe with an angle apostrophe (`), same
result. I tried to delete the apostrophe but received the following
error:

gawk: file.awk:2:         ^ unexpected newline or end of string

What should I do next?

Yours,

Ren=E9.
