Hi,

Thank you for your reply! When I use the awk code, I got the new file like below which contains additonal rows which I don't want. How to remove them? by the way, what does '/^\s*$/' mean? I don't understand. Thanks!

Using awk :
awk '{
split($4,arr,",");
for (tmp in arr) if (arr[tmp] !~ /^\s*$/) printf $1"\t"$2"\t"$3"\t"arr[tmp]"\n"
}' old_file > new_file
