If you want to remove space anywhere in the file.

Code:

sed 's/[ ]//g' file

./hari.sh · #3 02-12-2013

Did you mean, to do in a shell script?

sed 's/ //g' MyFile

@kg_gaurav, would you elaborate on the significance of using cat in your pipeline?

i considered all data like
BUD, BDL
ABC, DDD, ABC
ABC, DDD, DDD, KKK

are in file temp. so cat that and pipped with sed. well i usually use pipe you may directely use

Code:

sed 's/, /,/g' temp >newfile
