If you only have to care about an empty last field, then using sed would be shorter:



$ sed 's/:$//; s/:/ + /g' file
Hello + world
Hello + worlds
Hello + world + example



Your attempted awk command can be salvaged like this:



$ awk -F":" ' print $1 " + " $2 ($3 != "" ? " + " $3 : "") ' file
Hello + world
Hello + worlds
Hello + world + example


Or, by using OFS (the output field delimiter):



$ awk -F":" -v OFS=' + ' ' print $1, $2 ($3 != "" ? OFS $3 : "") ' file
Hello + world
Hello + worlds
Hello + world + example

    If last column is empty, remove last column from output.



    awk '$NF=="" NF-- $1=$11' FS=':' OFS=' + ' file


    Output:




    Hello + world
    Hello + worlds
    Hello + world + example

    • Note that the effect of decrementing NF is undefined in the POSIX standard. It may work in some implementations of awk.
