Assuming that these are not the last fields in the record a simple
Search/Replace operation in a Text Processor would handle this:

Find = space ", " <- note that space is an actual space not the word
Replace = ", "

I note you mention S/R but you need to be more specific on what you
are searching for (as I listed above) and not just look for spaces.
