Hi Jens,

Oke... sed-hell again.
Case: I have a file that has lines separated by pipe chars. I need to split
it back into a line-by-line file. So I tried this (the ^M has been enteredby pushing Ctrl+V, Enter):
echo "This|should|be|on|separate|lines" | sed -e "s/|/^M/g"
The result: linesate
I'm sure I'm missing something, but hours of googling didn't get me anywhere. Any ideas?
I think awk fits better for this task, IMHO of course :-)
csoler@gudu$ echo "This|should|be|on|separate|lines" | awk -F"|" '{for (i=1; i<= NF; i++) print $i}'
This
should
be
on
separate
lines
I hope this helps you...
Cheers, César
