Hello,
You could try setting the file seperator to something not in a record
meaning the file is only one record long, therefore avoiding the overloading
of fields, but this may make the field too large.
You can use gsub, does a global replace and tells you how many
replaces it did. So if you replace , with a , and count how many
times you did it, and add 1
elegant or what

Tested it using gawk on a dos machine, so who know what will happen,
on a real machine.
BEGIN {
FS="@@@"
}
{
x=gsub(",",",")
++x
printf "%s,%s\n",x,$0
}

I have figured out the command to do this in awk. But I am getting a
"record .. has too many fields" error. This is occurring when it processes
the parameters for the CALC block. Is there a way in awk to increase the
maximum number of fields?
awk -F, '
{ print NF "," $0
}' $FILE > HEADERS.TST
Thanks,
Rory Loupe
