Hello,

ob-awk has proven very valuable to me lately so many
thanks for maintaining it. 

First of all let me specify that I'm a beginner user of awk and I don't
know if I'm using ob-awk as it is intended, so I'll be glad for any
suggestions. Let me explain further:


* Default behavior

If I have a csv file with comma separated values, I get the output as an
org table.

;; test.csv
123,0,123


#+begin_src awk :in-file test.csv :cmd-line -F ","
{print $0}
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
| 123 | 0 | 123 |

* Request 

However If I have a csv file with say semi column delimited values (;)
I don't get the org table as output

#+begin_src awk :in-file test1.csv :cmd-line -F ";"
{print $0}
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: 123;0;123


In my opinion, this could be fixed if we could read the :cmd-line
parameter -F  and use the delimeter argument ; as a parameter to the
following function

modified   lisp/ob-awk.el
@@ -93,7 +93,7 @@ This function is called by `org-babel-execute-src-block'."
           results
           (let ((tmp (org-babel-temp-file "awk-results-")))
             (with-temp-file tmp (insert results))
-            (org-babel-import-elisp-from-file tmp)))))
+            (org-babel-import-elisp-from-file tmp ";")))))


Would this be the right way to do think about this issue? 

Best regards,
Jeremie

PS Note that we have a samilar issue in ob-shell
where the delimiter is by default a comma. 

#+begin_src shell
  echo '192;168;1;200' | awk -F ";"   '{print $0}'     
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: 192;168;1;200



#+begin_src shell
  echo '192,168,1,200' | awk -F ","   '{print $0}'     
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
| 192 | 168 | 1 | 200 |
