We're using a script to parse files, and we would like to combine some regular expressions:<br />
<br />
sed s/&quot; &quot;/&quot;&quot;/g | sed s/,/\&quot;,\&quot;/g | sed s/&quot;^&quot;/\&quot;/g | sed s/&quot;$&quot;/\&quot;/g<br />

Is there a way to combine this into one regular expression?<br />

We're using a script to parse files, and we would like to combine some regular expressions:

sed s/" "/""/g | sed s/,/\",\"/g | sed s/"^"/\"/g | sed s/"$"/\"/g


Is there a way to combine this into one regular expression?

Thanks!

Combining Regular Expressions

Programming includes both the specifics of the language you’re using, like Visual Basic, .NET, Java and others, but also the best practices in user experience and interfaces and the management of projects, version control and development. Other programming topics are related to web and cloud development and system and hardware programming.

Programming

A regular expression ("regex") is a sequence of characters that define a search pattern, mainly for use in pattern matching with strings, or string matching, i.e. "find and replace"-like operations. Regular expression processors are found in several search engines, search and replace dialogs of several word processors and text editors, and in the command lines of text processing utilities, such as sed and AWK. Many programming languages provide regular expression capabilities, some built-in, for example Perl, JavaScript, Ruby, AWK, and Tcl, and others via a standard library, for example .NET languages, Java, Python and C++ (since C++11). Most other languages offer regular expressions via a library.
