If you don't change OFS, then print foo, bar, baz; is exactly the same as printf "%s %s %s\n", foo, bar, baz; Therefore, combining them should be easy. However, I don't think it buys you much in terms of efficiency. If you are really concerned about efficiency (if you have to handle millions of lines), then you'd better rewrite this in C.
