AIX put comma separated data on its own line
In Linux you can do this to put comma separated data on its own line like this.

Code:
sed 's/[,.!?]  */&\n/g' /tmp/ports
sed 's/[,.!?]  */\n/g' /tmp/ports

How do you do this in AIX? It is not working. Is there another way to do this? Something like this.

Code:
1, 2, 3, 4

To look like this.

Code:
1
2
3
4

What is your output when you attempt this in AIX?

Please post your sample output (even when wrong) and any error messages.

Thanks.

Sorry about that. Here it is.

Code:
>sed 's/[,.!?]  */&\n/g' /tmp/ports
1, n2, n3, n4
>sed 's/[,.!?]  */\n/g' /tmp/ports
1n2n3n4

\n being a newline is specific to GNU sed.
Put a \newline
Code:
sed 's/[,.!?]  */&\
/g' /tmp/ports
sed 's/[,.!?]  */\
/g' /tmp/ports

The 'two
lines' string work in all Bourne/Posix compatible shells. The GNU extension also supports csh and tcsh shells.
