Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Replace Double quotes within double quotes in a column with space while loading a CSV file Post 302943646 by cjcox on Monday 11th of May 2015 12:11:01 PM

Change outer double quotes to an unprintable (here a literal ^B, so remember that not carat B, but ctrl-B). Then eliminate the remaining double quotes and replace all ^Bs with double quotes.

Code:
sed -e 's/^"/^B/' -e 's/"$/^B/' -e 's/",/^B,/g' -e 's/,"/,^B/g' -e 's/"//g' -e 's/^B/"/g'
