Hi Team I have a JSON file as below :-

[{"entityId":null,"entityType":"Account.AccountRequest","accessedByUser":"[email protected]","milestone":"Approval","comment":"Bank Account Manager approved this request. Comments: ","commentType":"MilestoneApproval","when":"2022-07-26T06:10:43.91Z","id":30},{"entityId":null,"entityType":"Account.AccountRequest","accessedByUser":"[email protected]","milestone":"Approval","comment":"Bank Account Manager approved this request. Comments: ","commentType":"MilestoneApproval","when":"2022-07-26T06:10:43.91Z","id":30},{"entityId":null,"entityType":"Account.AccountRequest","accessedByUser":"[email protected]","milestone":"A task was completed","comment":"Prepare SAP Config Docs","commentType":"MilestoneGeneric","when":"2022-07-26T06:10:43.907Z","id":29},{"entityId":null,"entityType":"Account.AccountRequest","accessedByUser":"[email protected]","milestone":"A task was completed","comment":"Prepare SAP Config Docs","commentType":"MilestoneGeneric","when":"2022-07-26T06:10:43.907Z","id":29}]

I am using the pattern while testing and reviewing the events :-
(\[|,|\]){

This breaks everything fine but the last line which has the closing ]

Use SEDCMD to remove the unwanted character.

SEDCMD-rmbracket = s/\]$//
