Output format - comparison with I/p file

Hi,

I have a file which contains more than 1 lakh records like following:

a. name, id, city, state, country, phone (Expected I/P file format)
name, id, city,, state, country, phone (Current I/P file format )

I want to achieve following tasks,

a, Remove the extra comma in the City field.
b, Add / Remove extra string in the id field (eg. if id is 5001 I want to add 0 in the beginning, ie, 05001 / in some case, if id is 0123 remove 0 from the beginning ie, 123.

Please advice.

Thanks and Regards,
Vel
