Remove specific strings from certain fields
I'm working with a set of files where I'm trying to remove a set of characters from specific fields. The files are comma-delimited, and the characters I want to remove include:
- open parentheses - ( - close parentheses - ) - space followed by a dollar sign - $ I don't want to remove every occurrence of these characters as they may occur in fields that I don't want to remove the data from. How can I remove specific strings from specific fields, like the 4th or 5th fields in a .csv per the information provided above? Thanks much! |
