Hi All,
silly question that I'm sure is easy to answer for a more experienced coder...
I have a file called test.txt containing the following text...
need, to, break, this, line, into, individual, lines
using sed, I'd like to make the file look like this...
need
to
break
this
line
into
individual
lines
here's the code I've tried
#!/bin/ksh
sed "s/,/\n/" test.txt > test.new.txt
but it returns the following in test.new.txt
Addn this, line, after, every, line, with, WORD
so, my questions are...
1.) how can I make sed replace all instances of "," in a given line?
2.) how can I make sed insert newline characters instead of just the character n?
Thanks in advance!
the basic algorithm/steps to do this, is to split the line on "," and then print them out with newline

Hi,
How can I replace the 6th comma on each line (of a csv) with a space?
Any online tutorials with plenty of examples using sed would be very useful.

nwbpset
NWBPSET(1) nwbpset NWBPSET(1)NAME
nwbpset - Create a bindery property or set its value
SYNOPSIS
nwbpset [ -h ] [ -S server ] [ -U user name ] [ -P password | -n ] [ -C ]
DESCRIPTION
nwbpset Reads a property specification from the standard input and creates and sets the corresponding property. The format is determined by
the output of 'nwbpvalues -c'. nwbpset will hopefully become an important part of the bindery management suite of ncpfs, together with
'nwbpvalues -c'. See util/nwbpsecurity for an example.
As another example, look at the following command line:
nwbpvalues -t 1 -o supervisor -p user_defaults -c |
sed '2s/.*/ME/'|
sed '3s/.*/LOGIN_CONTROL/'|
nwbpset
With this command, the property user_defaults of the user object 'supervisor' is copied into the property login_control of the user object
'me'.
nwbpvalues -t 1 -o me -p login_control -c |
sed '9s/.*/ff/'|
nwbpset
This command disables the user object me.
Feel free to contribute other examples!
nwbpset looks up the file $HOME/.nwclient to find a file server, a user name and possibly a password. See nwclient(5) for more information.
Please note that the access permissions of $HOME/.nwclient MUST be 600 for security reasons.
OPTIONS -h
-h is used to print out a short help text.
-S server
server is the name of the server you want to use.
-U user
user is the user name to use for login.
-P password
password is the password to use for login. If neither -n nor -P are given, and the user has no open connection to the server, nwbpset
prompts for a password.
-n
-n should be given if no password is required for the login.
-C
By default, passwords are converted to uppercase before they are sent to the server, because most servers require this. You can turn off
this conversion by -C.
