Columns to rows conversion in unix
Hi All,

My requirement is to convert the rows to columns, please help me how to do in one command.
Ex: source file is having data like
Code:
ABC,XYZ,123,987,KKK,XXX,666

Need output like
Code:
ABC
XYZ
987
KKK
XXX
666

Regards,
Pavan.

Using a sed sub-command made for such things (and modelled on tr):
Code:
sed 'y/,/\n/' < infile > outfile
