I created a script that was using
cut -d',' -f- --output-delimiter=$'\n'
to add a newline for each command separated value in RHEL 5, for e.g.
[root]# var="hi,hello how,are you,doing"
[root]# echo $var
hi,hello how,are you,doing
[root]# echo $var|cut -d',' -f- --output-delimiter=$'\n'
hi
hello how
are you
doing
But unfortunately when I run the same command in Solaris 10, it doesn't work at all :( !
bash-3.00# var="hi,hello how,are you,doing"
bash-3.00# echo $var
hi,hello how,are you,doing
bash-3.00# echo $var|cut -d',' -f- --output-delimiter=$'\n'
cut: illegal option -- output-delimiter=
usage: cut -b list [-n] [filename ...]
cut -c list [filename ...]
cut -f list [-d delim] [-s] [filename]
I checked the man page for 'cut' and alas there is no ' --output-delimiter ' in there !
So how do I achieve this in Solaris 10 (bash)? I guess awk would be a solution, but I'm unable to frame up the options properly.
Note: The comma separated variables might have " " space in them.
