Subject: sed problem
Date: Thu, 4 Mar 2004 10:08:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <005001c4020b$43468f50$6f00000a@jenswin2k> (raw)

Oke... sed-hell again.

Case: I have a file that has lines separated by pipe chars. I need to split
it back into a line-by-line file. So I tried this (the ^M has been entered
by pushing Ctrl+V, Enter):
echo "This|should|be|on|separate|lines" | sed -e "s/|/^M/g"

The result:
linesate

I'm sure I'm missing something, but hours of googling didn't get me
anywhere. Any ideas?

Thanks
Jens
