Print every character in a new line
I have a file like this:
This is a sentence.
This is another sentence.
I need to put a new line after each character, such that only one character appears on every line, e.g.:
T
h
i
s
i
s
a
s
e
n
t
e
n
c
e
.
T
h
i
s
i
s
a
n
o
t
h
e
r
s
e
n
t
e
n
c
e
.
Solution for this is:
sed:
sed 's/\(.\)/\1\n/g' -i filename
perl:
perl -F// -lane 'print join "\n", @F' filename
awk:
awk -F '' -v 'OFS=\n' '{$1=$1}1' filename

Thank you for sharing! Did you know that sed accepts any 's' delimiter? That means you can write it so it is easier to read:
ReplyDeletesed 's_\(.\)_\1\n_g' -i filename
