title: Awk consider double quoted string as one token and ignore space in between
body: <p>Data file - data.txt:</p>
  
  <pre><code>ABC "I am ABC" 35 DESC
  DEF "I am not ABC" 42 DESC
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><code>cat data.txt | awk '{print $2}'</code> </p>
  
  <p>will result the "I" instead of the string being quoted</p>
  
  <p>How to make awk so that it ignore the space within the quote and think that it is one single token?</p>
