Hi All,

I have an input file in linux with the following entries:

X:1,2,3,4
Y:5,6,7,8
...and so on

I require an output like below:

X:1
X:2
X:3
X:4
Y:5
Y:6
Y:7
Y:8

Could someone please provide a solution to this?

Regards,
Gaurav
 
Hi

Assuming there are no other colons ( : ) and commas ( , ) then the field delimiters :
Code:
master # awk -F '[:,]' '[teal]{[/teal][b]for[/b][teal]([/teal][navy]i[/navy][teal]=[/teal][purple]2[/purple][teal];[/teal][navy]i[/navy][teal]<=[/teal]NF[teal];[/teal][navy]i[/navy][teal]++)[/teal][b]print[/b][navy]$1[/navy][i][green]":"[/green][/i][navy]$i[/navy][teal]}[/teal]' /path/to/input
X:1
X:2
X:3
X:4
Y:5
Y:6
Y:7
Y:8
