As long as there aren't any commas in your quoted fields, the following is a fairly simple way of getting rid of the quotes in specified fields in a text file named file using commas as field separators:
With your sample input data, this produces the output:
which, I assume, is what you wanted.
If you want to try this on a Solaris/SunOS system, change awk to /usr/xpg4/bin/awk or nawk.
A Triva question.
What is the easy way to remove the double quotes in the file in the following format.
"asdfa","fdgh","qwer"
tr -d '\"' <filename >newfilename
mv newfilename oldfilename
This need to be handled in a script. Any better way to do this. Will sed be more effecient?

fitsort(1) General Commands Manual fitsort(1)NAME
fitsort - sort FITS header information from a list of files
SYNOPSIS
dfits <FITS files...> | fitsort <FITS keywords...>
DESCRIPTION
fitsort extract keyword values from a set of FITS headers and outputs it in an ASCII table format, which is compatible with most data pro-
cessing software packages. It shall only be used in combination with the dfits utility.
The ASCII output is shown in columns. Columns are aligned with blank characters and also separated by tabulations. Blank alignment allows
human readers to visualize the output in a pretty format, tabulations are there for spreadsheet compatibility. If you want to load out fit-
sort output into any spreadsheet, specify that fields shall be separated by tabulations and entries separated by linefeeds.
Examples :
dfits *.fits | fitsort BITPIX NAXIS NAXIS1 NAXIS2
The output would look like:
FILE BITPIX NAXIS NAXIS1 NAXIS2
file0001.fits 16 2 128 128
file0002.fits 32 2 512 512
...
ESO specific features in the FITS header are also supported. To get values for 'HIERARCH ESO' keywords, just give the complete names within
double quotes. e.g.
dfits *.fits | fitsort "HIERARCH ESO INS LENS"
Another way of giving HIERARCH ESO keywords is to use the short FITS notation, the above example can be given as:
dfits *.fits | fitsort INS.LENS
Example: to retrieve the DPR keywords from an ESO FITS header, you would use:
dfits *.fits | fitsort To be completed... DPR.CATG DPR.TYPE DPR.TECH
This second way of requesting HIERARCH ESO keywords is not only shorter to type, it also avoids typing quotes or double-quotes on the com-
mand-line, making it easier to script with fitsort.
Notice that the keywords you give on the command-line are case-insensitive. The above line is equivalent to:
dfits *.fits | fitsort dpr.catg dpr.type dpr.tech
OPTIONS -d Do not print out the first output line. This option is useful to get only the query results, without the top line (giving all column
names). This makes it easy to script fitsort from programs like awk or perl.
FILES
Input files to dfits shall all comply with FITS format. fitsort also supports HIERARCH ESO FITS format.
