Need to use delimiter as : and space in awk

Hi ,

Please suggest me how do I use

 :   (colon and one space)

as a delimiter in awk

Best regards,
Vishal

Try :

# space and colon 
$ awk -F'[: ]' '{.........}' file

$ awk  '{.........}' FS='[: ]' file

$ awk 'BEGIN{FS=":| "}{........}' file


# colon and space together 
$ awk  '{.........}' FS=": " file 

$ awk 'BEGIN{FS=": "}{........}' file

awk -F': ' or FS = ": " .
[: ] matches : and <space> as single characters.
