I dont have my GAWK manual handy, but I think your problem may
be that you are using SPRINTF which is a print to string function
as in str = sprintf() rather than something like fprintf() or printf()
I would expect that the format overall would be
INPUT_SOURCE | awk -f awk-script_file > outputfile
and awk-script_file
would contain your awk code
including something like
printf("\"%s\",\"%s\"\n", SiteVal, CustomerID);
or the %c format illustrated below...
The syntax error may not be the "'s, but your use of sprintf and the more
PERL Like
>> "filename" . These constructs may have been added in GAWK, but they were
not in
the original AWK as far as I can remember.
Check the manual.........
