Hi,
Try this,
Code:
sed 's/\,/\t/g' file >outfile
awk '{gsub(/\,/,"press tab");print;}' file >outfile

if you dont want use the new file to store the result and update in same file. just use the below cmd
Code:
awk '{gsub(/\,/,"press tab");a[NR]=$0;}END{for (i=1;i<=NR;i++){print a[i] >FILENAME;}}' file

press tab button in gsub replace str.
Cheers,
Ranga:-)
