I am looking to get a regex to remove the double quotes in the middle of the below string .
message="filtername prefix "8610: ABCD: test purpose"
message="filtername prefix "CP9832: ABCD: test purpose"
I need to get as
message="filtername prefix 8610: ABCD: test purpose"
message="filtername prefix CP9832: ABCD: test purpose"
In Props conf file i have updated as
SEDCMD-removeDoubleQuotes = s/(\")\d/g
will this help ? I am learning Regex
SEDCMD change would simply need to be
s/\"//g
Syntax is
s/change_this/to_this/flags
so above you're changing the regex \" (search double quote) and replace with nothing, globally
I see you had a \d in your original - were you actually trying to find the quotes before a digit? If so, it would catch only the first, not the second example.
You don't need the capture group () as you're not using that captured value in the replacement.
The provided SEDCMD string fixes half of the examples, but not all of them, as it only replaces quotation marks followed by a digit.
Try SEDCMD-removeDoubleQuotes = s/\s"/\s/g
SEDCMD change would simply need to be
s/\"//g
Syntax is
s/change_this/to_this/flags
