I have simple text file named "example".



Reading with terminal command: cat example



Output:



abc cdef ghi jk lmnopq rst uv wxyz


I want to convert (transform) into following form: (expected output from cat example)



abc

cdef

ghi

jk

lmnopq

rst

uv

wxyz


How can I do this via the command-line?



(This is only an example file, I want to convert word's position in vertical-column)

A few choices:




  1. The classic, use tr:



    tr ' ' '
    
' < example

  2. Use cut



    cut -d ' ' --output-delimiter=$'
    
' -f 1- example

  3. Use sed



    sed 's/ /
    
/g' example

  4. Use perl



    perl -pe 's/ /
    
/g' example

  5. Use the shell



    foo=$(cat example); echo -e ${foo// /n}
