awk field separator

[ferrolb at systecinc.com (Blackmon, Ferrol)]

Hey folks,

Is there a way in awk to specify multiple field separators?  Like FS =   
";" | ":" | "\"  I know this doesn't work, I just wanted to show what I'm   
trying to accomplish.  BTW, FS=";:\" doesn't work B/C it thinks I mean   
the entire string ";:\".  Has anyone tackled a problem like this before.

Thanks,

Ferrol
