awk

Hi there, I am in need of reorganizing a large CSV file. The first column, which is currently a 6 digit number needs to be split up, using comma's as the field separator.

For example, I need this: 022250,10:50 AM,274,22,50 022255,11:55 AM,275,22,55

turned into this: 0,2,2,2,5,0,10:50 AM,274,22,50 0,2,2,2,5,5,11:55 AM,275,22,55

Let me know what you think!

Thanks!
