Converting column to rows for every 3 lines in the column

Hi gurus!

Please help me with this one. I have an file with the following contents:
Code:
a
b
c
d
e
f
g
h
i
j

I would like to make to transform it to look like this as my output file:
Code:
a,b,c
d,e,f
g,h,i
j

So for every 3 lines of the input file is read, that three lines of the column will converted into a comma delimited row. This should be done for every 3 lines until it reaches the end of the input file.


Any thoughts of using awk?

Thanks in advance! Smilie
