Need help on an old post - How to convert a comma delimited string to records or lines of text?
Hi,

Apologies in advance to the moderator if I am posting this the wrong way.

I've searched and found the solution to an old post but as it is a very old post, I don't see an option to update it with additional question.

The question I have is in relation to the following post:

How to convert a comma delimited string to records or lines of text?

I just want to know if there is a way to number the output. At the moment, I am piping the output to nl to generate a numbered list. I just want to know how I can change the following so it can be a numbered output without using nl.

Not sure if I should PM RudiC or RavinderSingh13, sorry.

Code:
tr ',' '\n' < file3
user1
user2
user3
user4

awk -F"," '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){print $i}}' Input_file
OR
awk '{gsub(/\,/,"\n",$0);print $0}' Input_file
