Perhaps you could try my gawk-csvio pure gawk library. Just include a 
first unconditional rule calling csvimport(...) and the CSV input data 
will be automatically converted to a regular OFS-delimited record ready 
to be processed.

Please find the library at http://mcollado.z15.es/gawk-extras/. The 
documentation is available also to be read before downloading.
