insert newline with sed

[Pieter_5]

Hi,

I have the following output.

aa bb cc. I want to insert newlines at the spaces. So that the output will be
aa
bb
cc

I tried it with sed however it doesn't work.

[Jean-Luc Oudart · Accepted solution]

echo "aa bb cc" | tr " " "\n"

Hi,
One more way of doing it is:

for i in `cat filename`
do
echo $i
done

Regards,

ps.. Back quotes used in first statement.

What did you try with sed ? Was it similar to this:

sed 's/ /\n/'

[Geoff Wild]

Try this:

cat yourfile | sed 's/ /&=/g' | tr "=" "\n"
