Add previous text when replacing comma with new line
Hi,

I've got this output:

Code:
[matt@gateway output]# cat test2.txt
TM1ITP1-TMNLSTP1 SLC00=0,SLC01=0,SLC02=0,SLC03=0

if I just use
Code:
cat test2.txt | tr "," "\n"

I'll end up very near to what I'm trying to achieve:

Code:
TM1ITP1-TMNLSTP1 SLC00=0
SLC01=0
SLC02=0
SLC03=0

But how can i eventually add the term "TM1ITP1-TMNLSTP1" to all the new lines after replacing the comma with a new line?

Code:
TM1ITP1-TMNLSTP1 SLC00=0
TM1ITP1-TMNLSTP1 SLC01=0
TM1ITP1-TMNLSTP1 SLC02=0
TM1ITP1-TMNLSTP1 SLC03=0

Could I still need to use tr or there is something else i can try?

Rgds,
