Thank you, that did it!

For others who wish to delete or add an author comma in the Calibre Library here is step by step how I did it. I installed the plugin, then I entered in the search line:

authors:,

This gave me a list of every author name with a comma in the field. I then did a CTL-A to select all. I then clicked the Quality Check icon, the "Fix" option, the "Swap Author FN LN...." and then clicked the "Fix" option to the right of that. It took a couple of minutes where parts of the screen blocked out but then when it completed and the screen refreshed, all the author names had been formatted like I wanted. Thanks to all and the super fast response! This has to be a record for help provided. Very nice!
