Replace double double quotes using AWK/SED

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
I have data as

"01/22/97-"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa""aaa""aabbbbbbbbcccccc""zbcd""dddddddddeeeeeeeeefffffff"

I want to remove only the Consequitive double quotes and not the one which occurs single.

My O/P must be
"01/22/97-"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbcccccczbcddddddddddeeeeeeeeefffffff"

Try:

$ cat infile
"01/22/97-"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa""aaa""aabbbbbbbbcccccc""zbcd""dddddddddeeeeeeeeefffffff"
$ sed 's/""//g' infile
"01/22/97-"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbcccccczbcddddddddddeeeeeeeeefffffff"

Regards,
