How do I add in a CR between two characters 3

[jdespres]

I have a line of data thats pretty long...

I would like to break this data up ...

I would like to insert a carriage return line feed between the following two characters

><

This will make looking at the data a bit better!

Thanks...

Used tr instead ::--->

tr '><' '>\n'

Hi

tr '><' '>\n'

As [tt]tr[/tt] does transliteration, so your command :
[ul]
[li]replaces all > with >[/li]
[li]replaces all < with \n[/li]
[/ul]
That means the first character of both parameters is pointless here.

Seems to work for me...........

He's just pointing out that the results would be identical with:

tr '<' '\n'

I presume it doesn't matter that you are removing some "<" characters in the process?

Hi

Try with this small awk command:

awk '{gsub ("><",">\012<") ; print}' your_file

Good Day
