As I noted in my answer, if the intention is to parse CSV, this doesn't work for the following input: printf "a,b foo,\"not a foo, delimiter\"\nd,e,foo g\n". Also, this doesn't decisively answer the question "Can that be done in one sed command in general so that I do not need shell piping?"

@Vilinkameni there's no indication in the question that this is to parse CSV in general (if there was then I'd have directed the OP to whats-the-most-robust-way-to-efficiently-parse-csv-using-awk) and it does answer the question by telling the OP to just do something simpler instead.
