Regex find a comma between two strings
I'm trying to remove commas from a certain place within a text file. The input looks like this:
Y=6","~2807-1 Q12m. Plate(s), screw(s), rod(s) or pin(s) in any bone - NO"
I only want to remove the commas between the "Y=6","" and the ending double quote. If I use
(?<=Y=d",").*(?=")
I can isolate the part between those but can't for the life of me figure out how to just get the commas.
