Hi,

in the general case, awk might be more useful, but in this case you can use grep and exploit the fact that only the 2nd column has a ',' on either side.

What have you tried so far? The grep, sed, and awk commands are all capable of handling something like this.

EDIT:
Well, since the cat is out of the bag... :)
