Many (most?) Linux distros that have gawk also ship gawkextlib, which includes gawk-csv.

Thanks, I didn't know about that. For oneliners a simple command-line option would be preferable though.

Thanks for the plug (I'm the author of GoAWK). Yeah, I'm hoping the CSV feature will really be useful for data science and the like. There are so many CSVs pushed around these days. See more here: https://benhoyt.com/writings/goawk-csv/

https://github.com/ezrosent/frawk also supports csv

You can get pretty far with FPAT, and as mentioned elsewhere, gawkextlib is available when FPAT doesn't quite cut it.
