Split line of file from delimeter.
I have a below file.

INPUT FILE
Code:
select * from customer
MERGE INTO Archive; delete from Employee; using select * from customer; 
delete from employee; select * from Employee;
insert into employee(1,1);

OUTPUT FILE
Code:
select * from customer
MERGE INTO Archive
delete from Employee
using select * from customer
delete from employee
select * from Employee
insert into employee(1,1)

I want to split the line from deimeter semicolun `;`
& each statement in single line.
It might be happen that Semicolon is not comming in line or not comming.

I try this with CUT command but it will work only on single line.

Another gawk/mawk (only gawk / mawk support a regex in RS instead of a single character) :
Code:
mawk NF RS="; *|\n" file

@rdrtx1: Using $1=$1 like that can be tricky if a $1 happens to be 0 (zero) or 0.0 for example..
