Full Discussion: Using sed to remove a column from a CSV
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Using sed to remove a column from a CSV Post 302912472 by lojkyelo on Friday 8th of August 2014 12:08:19 PM

I can trust that the first column will never contain a comma within the "ABC" Internal ID field but not in the following fields, Name is likely suspect.

I tried you suggested command out, looks to have worked preserving the remainder of my record.

Thanks,
