A loop saves pasting it in a second time, runtime versus very minor coding effort. Each pass is relatively expensive, so if 1 is not enough and 2 is enough, looping an extra time to 3 tries is silly (and you always have a dry pass). Actually, sometimes 2 is silly:
Code:
$ sed -r '
  s/(,|^)  *(,|$)/,,/g
  t n
  b
  :n
  s/(,|^)  *(,|$)/,,/g
 ' <<! | cat -e
aaa,   bbb,ccc   ,    ,    ,dddd
    ,ee  ee,   
!
aaa,   bbb,ccc   ,,,dddd$
,,ee  ee,,$
 
$

Of course, I have embraced some very fat data sets! Smilie

Tcl_GetVersion(3)					      Tcl Library Procedures						 Tcl_GetVersion(3)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
Tcl_GetVersion - get the version of the library at runtime SYNOPSIS
#include <tcl.h> Tcl_GetVersion(major, minor, patchLevel, type) ARGUMENTS
int *major (out) Major version number of the Tcl library. int *minor (out) Minor version number of the Tcl library. int *patchLevel (out) The patch level of the Tcl library (or alpha or beta number). Tcl_ReleaseType *type (out) The type of release, also indicates the type of patch level. Can be one of TCL_ALPHA_RELEASE, TCL_BETA_RELEASE, or TCL_FINAL_RELEASE. _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Tcl_GetVersion should be used to query the version number of the Tcl library at runtime. This is useful when using a dynamically loaded Tcl library or when writing a stubs-aware extension. For instance, if you write an extension that is linked against the Tcl stubs library, it could be loaded into a program linked to an older version of Tcl than you expected. Use Tcl_GetVersion to verify that fact, and possi- bly to change the behavior of your extension. Tcl_GetVersion accepts NULL for any of the arguments. For instance if you do not care about the patchLevel of the library, pass a NULL for the patchLevel argument. KEYWORDS
version, patchlevel, major, minor, alpha, beta, release Tcl 7.5 Tcl_GetVersion(3)
