Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
Example File:

Code:

(jumped,
bumped,
)
how to
jumped,
FROM tree;
EXIT

I have some hundreads of files like this with the different words and I want to remove the comma before the bracket and also I have to remove the comma before FROM word.

I am trying to use this command :

Code:

awk ' BEGIN{RS=")"} {print substr($0,1,length($0)-2) ")" }'

but its removing comma before bracket and also its inserting another bracket at the end after the EXIT.

Thanks in advance.
RS

Thanks in advance.

Code:

sed 's/,FROM/FROM/g'

sorry.. this command is not working.

Code:

sed 's/,from/from/g'

because after comma there is a new line "ENTER" character and the command is not recongnizing.

RS

Code:

# sed '/^[^(]*,$/N;s/\(.*\),\(\n)\|\nFROM.*\)/\1\2/' file
(jumped,
bumped
)
how to

FROM tree;
EXIT
