comma delimiter and space
I have a csv file and there is a problem which I need to resolve.
Column1,Column2,Colum3,Column4
,x,y,z
,d,c,v
t,l,m,n
,h,s,k
,k,,y
z,j, ,p
Now if you see column1 for row 1 and row 4 though they are null there is a space but in case of row2 and row 5 there is no space.
I want row 1 and row 4 to look like row 2 and row 5.
Also if you see row 6 column 3 it is null but it has space, however row 5 and column 3 though null doesnot have space.
Basically I want a solution whereby if a column is null then between two comma delimters there should not be any space
and this should be applicable at the first column also.Any clue guys.

xkbaddgeomkey
XkbAddGeomKey(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbAddGeomKey(3)
NAME
XkbAddGeomKey - Add one key at the end of an existing row of keys
SYNOPSIS
XkbKeyPtr XkbAddGeomKey (XkbRowPtr row);
ARGUMENTS
- row row to be updated
DESCRIPTION
Xkb provides functions to add a single new element to the top-level keyboard geometry. In each case the num_ * fields of the corresponding
structure is incremented by 1. These functions do not change sz_* unless there is no more room in the array. Some of these functions fill
in the values of the element's structure from the arguments. For other functions, you must explicitly write code to fill the structure's
elements.
The top-level geometry description includes a list of geometry properties. A geometry property associates an arbitrary string with an
equally arbitrary name. Programs that display images of keyboards can use geometry properties as hints, but they are not interpreted by
Xkb. No other geometry structures refer to geometry properties.
Keys are grouped into rows. XkbAddGeomKey adds one key to the end of the specified row. The key is allocated and zeroed. XkbAddGeomKey
returns NULL if row is empty or if it was not able to allocate space for the key. To allocate space for an arbitrary number of keys to a
row, use XkbAllocGeomKeys.
STRUCTURES
typedef struct _XkbKey { /* key in a row */
XkbKeyNameRec name; /* key name */
short gap; /* gap in mm/10 from previous key in row */
unsigned char shape_ndx; /* index of shape for key */
unsigned char color_ndx; /* index of color for key body */
} XkbKeyRec, *XkbKeyPtr;
