Hi I want to remove last comma from a line. For example:
Input:
This,is,a,test
Desired Output:
This,is,a test
I am able to remove last comma if its also the last character of the string using below command: (However this is not I want)
echo "This,is,a,test," |sed 's/,$//'
This,is,a,test
Same command does not work if there are more characters past last comma in line.
echo "This,is,a,test" |sed 's/,$//'
This,is,a,test
I am able to achieve the results using dirty way by calling multiple commands, any alternative to achieve the same using awk or sed regex ?(This is I want)
echo "This,is,a,test" |rev |sed 's/,/ /' |rev
This,is,a test
$ echo "This,is,a,test" | sed 's/\(.*\),/\1 /'
This,is,a test
$ echo "This,is,a,test" | perl -pe 's/.*\K,/ /'
This,is,a test
In both cases, .*
will match as much as possible, so only the last comma will be changed.
