File formating question.
Hi,

I have a file with only data 1 row:

AA#?BB#?CC#?DD


Assume '#?' is the delimiter, i want the output in another file to be:

AA
BB
CC
DD

Pls let me know if this is possible by sed ?


Thanks in advance.

yes:

Code:
$ cat onefile 
AA#?BB#?CC#?DD

$ >anotherfile sed 's #? \
 g' onefile
$   
$ cat anotherfile 
AA
BB
CC
DD
