Why awk and not sed or tr? Why bash and not zsh or ksh? What have you written so far and where are you stuck? Which class is this homework for?

I have little experience with awk, any help is appreciated

There are many ways to do it, even in awk. One way would be to take a look at the Field Separator and the Output Field Separator. See "man awk" plus any number of tutorials.

However, it would help if you could explain what you have tried so far using awk and where you are stuck. Plus for context it would help to know why awk and not sed or tr, why bash and not zsh or ksh, and which class is this homework for?

We don't do homework.
