Converting a single row to multiple rows
Hi,

I want to convert a single row values to multiple rows, but the no. of rows are not fixed.

For example, I have a row as below

Code:
abc-def-lmn-mno-xyz

out put should be

Code:
get abc
get def
get lmn
get xyz

Code:
awk '$0="get "$0' RS=- infile

You'll get an extra trailing newline.
Or:
Code:
awk -F- '{
  for (i = 0; ++i <= NF;)
    print "get", $i
  }' infile

Hi radoulov...

The OP shows a listing omitting the mno block.

This may be a typo so I will ask the OP here:-

@Suneel Mekala...

Is the "mno" block deliberately omitted or is it a typo?

If it IS deliberately omitted then will it/they always be in the position shown?

Hi wisecracker,
yes, I've noticed that, but I believe that's a typo.
Waiting for the OP's reply.

Hi wisecracker,

"mno" was omitted because of typo.
