splitting of comma separated values file (horizontal) into a list (vertical ) list
Hello All,
I am a real newbie at all of this; both *nix and forums so please forgive me if I make any "faux pax's".
Just so you know, this is not some homework, I am way too old I promise! I am starting out in *nix scripting and wanted to know the best was to make a list of values out of a comma separated file, and place the list of values into a new file. So for example:
file1 contains:
dog, cat, mouse, horse, etc
and I would like the following.
file2 will contain:
dog
cat
mouse
horse
any hints, tips greatly appreciated. Thank You!
(btw I checked previous posts but did not find anything relevant.)
