Data Formatting Multiple fields on 1 line to multiple rows
I'm trying extract a number of filename fields from a log file and copy them out as separate rows in a text file so i can load them into a table. I'm able to get the filenames but the all appear on one line. I tried using the cut command with the -d (delimiter) option but cant seem to make it work. Any suggestions of how to get this to work or a better way to do this would be much appreciated.
