there's no explicit syntax for doing that when using comma terminated fields. but you could specify the same field a few times; the intermediate  mentions will gobble up the fields you wish to skip, and the last mention will contain the desired field value. this used to work and still will if they didn't change the syntax to disallow multiple mentions of a column.
