Yes, you're doing something wrong. The pipe symbol '|' is the regex alternation operator so you are telling gawk that the field separator is either 'a bunch of blanks' or 'a bunch of blanks'; so gawk does exactly what you ask it to do. Try FS=" *[|] *" and you should see a difference--[] is used to create a character list. However, based on how your data is structured and the regex FS seperator, field $1 will be null so your code won't print the column with NULLs in it. You probably want to use print $2, $3, $4, $5, $6.
