I have a .CSV file with over 500,000 lines that I need to:
- find all 'space double quote space' sequences and replace with nothing
- find all 'space double quote' sequences and replace with nothing
- find all double quotes and replace with nothing
Example of .CSV line:
"DISH Hartford & New Haven (Hartford)", "206", "FBNHD", " 06028", " East Windsor Hill", "CT", "Hartford County"
** Required output**
DISH Hartford & New Haven (Hartford),206,FBNHD,06028,East Windsor Hill,CT,Hartford County
I need to remove all double quotes ("
) and spaces in front of and behind the commas (,
).
I've tried
$ cd /Users/Leonna/Downloads/
$ cat bs-B2Bformat.csv | sed s/ " //g
This gives me the 'command incomplete' greater than prompt, so I then tried:
$ cat bs-B2Bformat.csv | sed s/ " //g
sed: 1: "s/": unterminated substitute pattern
$ cat bs-B2Bformat.csv |sed s/ \" //g
sed: 1: "s/": unterminated substitute pattern
$
There are too many lines for me to edit in Excel (Excel won't load all the lines) or even a text editor. How can I fix this?
