title: parse a csv file that contains commans in the fields with awk
body: <p>i have to use awk to print out 4 different columns in a csv file. The problem is the strings are in a $x,xxx.xx format. When I run the regular awk command.</p>
  
  <pre><code>awk -F, {print $1} testfile.csv 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>my output `ends up looking like</p>
  
  <pre><code>307.00
  $132.34
  30.23
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I doing wrong.</p>
  
  <p><code>"$141,818.88","$52,831,578.53","$52,788,069.53"</code>
   this is roughly the input. The file I have to parse is 90,000 rows and about 40 columns
  This is how the input is laid out or at least the parts of it that I have to deal with. Sorry if I made you think this wasn't what I was talking about.</p>
  
  <p>If the input is "$307.00","$132.34","$30.23"
  I want the output to be in a </p>
  
  <pre><code>$307.00
  $132.34
  $30.23
  </code></pre>
