title: why is awk printing only first word in a field?
body: <p>I have a tabulated <code>.txt</code> file with three fields, the third field often having multiple words:</p>
  <pre><code>GO:0000002  Akt3    mitochondrial genome maintenance
  GO:0000002  Mef2a   mitochondrial genome maintenance
  GO:0000002  Mgme1   mitochondrial genome maintenance
  GO:0000002  Mpv17   mitochondrial genome maintenance
  GO:0000002  Mrpl15  mitochondrial genome maintenance
  </code></pre>
  <p>I wanted to swap fields 1 and 2 using <code>awk</code>, but when i run the command:</p>
  <pre><code>awk 'BEGIN{OFS=&quot;\t&quot;}{print $2,$1,$3;}' file.txt
  </code></pre>
  <p>I get:</p>
  <pre><code>Akt3    GO:0000002  mitochondrial
  Mef2a   GO:0000002  mitochondrial
  Mgme1   GO:0000002  mitochondrial
  Mpv17   GO:0000002  mitochondrial
  </code></pre>
  <p>Why do i not get all the words in the third field, and how to solve this?</p>
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
