sed -e "s/,null,/, ,/g" result.txt > result.tmp
sed 's/,null,/, ,/g' result.txt > result.tmp
Both the above statements only replace the first occurance of ,null, to , , in each line.
Could this be done in any other way? Im trying to modify the contents of a file using a shell script that first extracts this data and modifies it a bit.
