Hi,
If I have a file called file1 with the contents as follows:

line1
line2
line2

Is it possible to run a script to append the data from file1 into file2 in the following format:

line1,line2,line3

Thanks in advance,
Trystan.

Hi Trystan,
you could do something like this:
cat file1 | tr "\012" ","

regards,
John K.

Hi Trystan:

Another way:

If you want the comma at the right place

echo `cat file1` | sed -e 's/ /,/g'

Trystan, i read your post wrong. Sorry for the mispost.

here's another way -

awk '{printf ("%s, ",$0}' file1

- ramd.
