awk to improve Formatting File :

Please help to improve the below formatting command as it is taking lot of time, Input file delimiter is ** separated, 22.00 Million rows and 87 columns. In output need to choose only 2 columns print substr($3,0,15),substr($4,3,10) & comma separated delimiter.

time zcat hlr*.gz | awk -F"**" '{OFS=","; print substr($3,0,15),substr($4,3,10)}' >Op_Formatted.csv

When I am running the above command in uname: Linux is taking 5 Hours 32 Minutes

real    319m48.471s
user    313m49.924s
sys 1m32.803s

whereas uname: CYGWIN_NT-6.1 is taking 16 minutes only 

real    16m52.823s
user    17m35.485s
sys 0m6.986s

Check if your linux env has memory issue or disk I/O read issue. I am fine in my environment.

Here are some suggestions.

First, put OFS outside, in your command, OFS is defined again on every line.

zcat hlr*.gz | awk '{print substr($3,0,15),substr($4,3,10)}' FS="**" OFS="," >Op_Formatted.csv >Op_Formatted.csv

If the position is not changed, try this:

zcat hlr*.gz | awk '{print substr($0,12,15) "," substr($0,32,10)}' >Op_Formatted.csv >Op_Formatted.csv

Test with first command on a 3000 lines file

real    0m0.297s
user    0m0.249s
sys     0m0.046s

Test with second command:

real    0m0.078s
user    0m0.077s
sys     0m0.030s
