title: Can field separator in awk encompass multiple characters?
body: <p>Can I use a field separator consisting of multiple characters? Like I want to separate words which contain quotes and commas between them viz.</p>
  
  <p>"School","College","City"</p>
  
  <p>So here I want to set my FS to be ",".  But I am getting funny results when I define my FS like that. Here's a snippet of my code.</p>
  
  <pre><code>awk -F\",\" '
  {
  for(i=1;i&lt;=NF;i++)
    {
      if($i~"[a-z0-9],[a-z0-9]") 
      print $i
    }
  }' OFS=\",\"  $* 
  </code></pre>
