使用grep和Textwrangler查找/替换

Question

I'm using grep on TextWrangler to find strings of this type:

4,600.00

My regex command is the following:

\d.\d{3}.\d{2}

which seems to find the strings correctly. I would like to replace the string 4,600.00 with 4600.00 as I wish to save the data in a .csv file. How do I remove the comma from each number that I find?

Answer 1

Search: (\\d{1,3}),(\\d{1,3})\\.(\\d{1,2})

Replace: \\1\\2.\\3

Works in TextWrangler.

Answer 2

awk oneliner:

awk  --re-interval  '{x=gensub(/([0-9]{1,3}),([0-9]{3}\.[0-9]{2})/,"\\1\\2","g");print x}' file

test:

kent$  awk --version|head -1
GNU Awk 3.1.6

kent$  echo "foo,bar,blah,46,000.00,some,more"|awk --re-interval  '{x=gensub(/([0-9]{1,3}),([0-9]{3}\.[0-9]{2})/,"\\1\\2","g");print x}'
foo,bar,blah,46000.00,some,more

Answer 3

One way using sed :

sed -r 's/([0-9]{1,3}),([0-9]{3}\.[0-9]{2})/\1\2/g' file.txt

You could add the -i flag to write the changes directly to the file.
