Hello ranjancom2000,

Could you please try following.

sed 's/N\/A/,/;s/RW/,/'   Input_file

Thanks,

Remember that sed 's substitute command allows almost any delimiter to allow for flexibility. So for instance any of the following may be used:

sed 's^N/A^,^;s^SW^,^'
sed 's!N/A!,!;s!SW!,!'
sed 's|N/A|,|;s|SW|,|'
sed  's|N/A|,|;s/SW/,/'

You will notice that in the first three examples I use the same delimiter for consistency; but for the last one I switch back to the familiar delimiter for readability. This can only be done because there are two commands in the sed invocation.

If your sed version allows for EREs ("extended RE"), try

sed -r 's:N/A|RW:,:g' file
666,server1, 00973 , RDF1+TDEV , 1035788
