awk '/YEAR/{$1=$1;print}' OFS=", " file | sed 's/\(.*\),\(.*\)/\1\2/'
/YEAR/ -> select lines with "YEAR" $1=$1 -> reset the field separators (remove double spaces).. print -> ..and print the line.. OFS=", " -> .. with the new output fieldseparator
Code:
sed 's/\(.*\),\(.*\)/\1\2/'
The sed command removes the last comma of the output of the awk command.
\(.*\),\(.*\) -> selects two patterns \(.*\) of the string, the 1st pattern is the line until the last comma (greedy match) and the 2e pattern the line after the last comma. \1\2 -> prints the 2 patterns.
