seperating the words from a line??

The line is like this
+abc+def+mgh+ddsdsd+sa

i want to conver this line to
abc, def, mgh, ddsdsd, sa

Skyineyes,
Do not break the rules duplicating posts:

You will just make it more difficult for you to find a solution.
Give time to the members to work on the issue.

You can do something like that :
Code:
line=+abc+def+mgh+ddsdsd+sa"
new_line=$(echo "$line" | sed 's/^+//;s/+/, /g')

Code:
str="+abc+def+mgh+ddsdsd+sa"
echo ${str#?} | tr '+' ','
