write csv to ascii

Hi,

I read csv format file, (which was mixed with strings and numbers), and want to write some columns of file with format (like (2A20, F12.4)). Here is my script, which doesn't work.

--------------------------------------------------
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_code.ncl"
load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/gsn_csm.ncl"

load "$NCARG_ROOT/lib/ncarg/nclscripts/csm/contributed.ncl"

begin
filename = "/data11/cluo/GAfire/GAPermit/dat/2012-MarApr-GFCPermits.csv"

;---Read in file as array of strings so we can parse each line
lines = asciiread(filename,-1,"string")

delim = ","

y = str_split_csv(lines, ",", 0)

asciiwrite("tst.txt1",y(:,5),y(:8),y(:,11))

end
-------------------------------------------------

Very appreciate your help!
