Hammer & Screwdriver Moving items to a new line
Hi,

Let's I have the following strings (md5):

Code:
07177edf8261d28c6a003e583fcbe38c

0738030a25a32ec7808abd225a8a4e08
073ae0ecb922c7948c8ab8c3966a6554

I want to move them item with comma to a new line, say the next line. How can I do this. Currently I'm manually using
Code:
awk -F, {'print $1.....$n'}

but that is very tedious since I also have column up to 8,9... and almost 16.


Thanks.
