AWK bash command auto remove whitespaces

I used AWK command to split a string like this

LINE="91345|/2015/01/30/Launch Trailer - Might  Magic Heroes III HD Edition(1).mp4"

Between Might and Magic have two whitespaces

And I run command

video_path=`echo $LINE|awk -F$separator '{print $2}'`

After running only a single whitespace between Might and Magic

/2015/01/30/Launch Trailer - Might Magic Heroes III HD Edition(1).mp4

How can I keep two whitespaces in string I recieved.

Sory for my bad English :( !!!

echo $LINE should be echo "$LINE":

video_path=$(echo "$LINE" | awk -F$separator '{print $2}')

Use quotes in echo statement to preserve all whitespaces:

video_path=$(echo "$LINE" | awk -F "$separator" '{print $2}')
