Removing whitespaces from a line

HI
I want to remove white spaces from a line
I have a file like
Code:
# cat /clsep
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

I need the output like
0
1
2
3
4
.
.
.
15

I feel sed command cannot be used..
I went through the man page of awk command and found
Code:
cat /clsep | awk '{ print NF}'

It prints the number of columns but am unable to proceed after this..
Please teach/suggest a way to implement my requirement..
