I have a scenario where I need to replace spaces with comma and then remove certain extra specific chars from a string.

echo "$d"

>>Mon Apr 22 05:06:00 UTC 2019

jent=$(echo $jt1 | sed 's/[[:space:]]/,/g')

echo "$jent"

>>Mon,Apr,22,05:06:00,UTC,2019 #this does the first job of replacing the space with comma

But again I want to remove the UTC part and the comma before it, how can I achieve it any help?

desired output should be

Mon,Apr,22,05:06:00,2019

scripting shell shell-script sed awk

You can do it with one sed call, e.g.

$ echo "Mon Apr 22 05:06:00 UTC 2019" | sed 's/ (UTC )?/,/g'

You can simply say:

~]$ export jent="$(echo $jent | sed 's/,UTC//g')"

~]$ echo $jent

You can do it with translate command:

jent=$(echo "$d" | tr -ds  UTC "  " | tr " " ,)

# the first double quotes contains two spaces 

echo "$jent"
