delete " from plain text files
Hi,
sorry for bothering with this easy problem but I can't understand...

I've a file like this:
Code:
"4","0x23a3"
"5","0x4234"
"11",""
"20",""
"11132","0x6456"

I would like to create a file like this:
Code:
4,23a3
5,4234
11,999999
20,999999
11132,6456

I've tried:
Code:
cat INPUT.txt | sed -e 's/0x//' -e 's/""/999999/' -e 's/"//' >> OUTPUT.txt

but I've obtained this:
Code:
4","23a3"
5","4234"
11",999999
20",999999
11132","6456"

there are two problems:
why
Code:
-e 's/"//'

can not delete all
Code:
"

?
why script create an empty line at the end of the OUTPUT.txt file ?

Thank a million
