awk comma seperated value within double quote

Hi,

I have a data file separated by comma, data enclosed by ""

head file.txt

"HD","Sep 13 2016  1:05AM","0001"
"DT","273093045","192534"
"DT","273097637","192534"
..

I want to get the 3rd column value (0001) to be assigned to my variable

I tried

FILE_VER=`cat file.txt | awk -F',' '{if ($1 == "HD") print $3}'`

I dont get any value assigned to FILE_VER. Please help me with correct syntax

$ FILE_VER=$(awk -F, '$1 == "\"HD\"" {print $3}' infile)
$ echo $FILE_VER
"0001"

Try also

IFS='",' read _ _ _ _ _ _ _ FILE_VER _ <file
echo $FILE_VER 
0001
