Formatting the file using pattern

rbalaj16 · #1 02-15-2013

Hi,

Please suggest the suitable command for my below requirement.

I have a file with greater than symbol (>) in many places in a file.
For example,

Code:

abcd>drfg>gdh

Code:

awk -F'>' '{$0=$0">"}{$1=$1; OFS=FS RS}1' file

With GNU/Posix awk,
linefeed after each ">"

Code:

awk 'BEGIN {FS=">"; OFS=FS RS} NF>1 {$1=$1} 1' file

In sed, very simple (but extra linefeed for > at end of line):

Code:

sed 's/>/>\
/g'
