Hello
I have a large text file that had the following data.
"Stuff","Between","Quotation" ,"Marks",
"More","Stuff","Down" ,"Here",
Unfortunately, there is a space appearing in between the third words quotation marks and the comma separator. Is there any command I can run that would take a textfile, find/replace out that space and output to another text file? I was going to just find/replace manually but Notepad isn't up to the task at all.
I have very little experience of batch scripting, and have no access to other languages like Perl (Work computer, not allowed install stuff on it.) so it has to be a batch file.
Any help would be appreciated, I hope I have explained my problem clearly however if you wish to know any details please let me know.

That should do it extremely quickly, unless I'm misunderstanding?
Also, try Notepad++ as a notepad replacement. It's awesome and has a lot of features.
