bash – convert comma separated values into a list of values using shell script – Stack Overflow

Posted by jpluimers on 2020/09/07

For a simple comma separated list (no quotes), I was expecting a sed script (and indeed it is possible), but tr is more elegant:

Use tr to change , into newlines:

tr , "\n" < list.txt

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tr_(Unix)
