Concatenation String in shell

Question

I have this shell line to concatenate 2 string:

 new_group="second result is: ${result},\"${policyActivite}_${policyApplication}\"" echo "result is: ${new_group}"

The result:

result is: "Team","Application_Team"

How can change the result to: result is: "Team, Application_Team"

Use sed:

echo "$new_group" | sed 's/"//g;s/^\(.*\)$/"\1"/'

The first statement is removing all double quotes. The second one add double at the start and the end of the line.

Alternatively, if you want to replace "," with ,, use this sed command: sed 's/","/, /g'

it's not working, because I don't have a file, Team1, Team22,... are the string

@vero I don't understand. Where do you see a file in this command?
