I have tried using

cat file_name.txt | tr -s " " ","

this is overwriting the blank spaces


S1234, A98 76 , A6789 , , , , A5677 , 3452
S9087 , A4562 , A1367 , A2678 , D7891

Displays:
S1234,A98,76,A6789,A5677,3452
S9087,A4562,A1367,A2678,D7891


It should be:

S1234,A98 76,A6789,,,,A5677,3452
S9087,A4562,A1367,A2678,D7891


Thanks
