I have a comma delimited text file that has multiple instances of multiple commas. Each file will contain approximatley 300 lines. For example:
one, two, three,,,,four,five,,,,six one, two, three,four,,,,,,,,,,eighteen, and so on. There is one time when multiple commas are allowed. Just prior to the letters ADMNSRC there should be one instance of 4 commas. ( ,eight,,,,ADMNSRC,thirteen, ). The text ADMNSRC is NOT in the same place on each line. What would be the best approach to replace all instances of multiple commas with just one comma, except for the 4 commas prior to ADMNSRC? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
