nawk -v RS='' -v OFS=',' '$1=$1' file

vlad

You can use tr :

tr '\n' ',' < sourcefile

will translate all newlines in the file to commas. I suspect you'll get a better answer from an awk user though...

There you are you see. In the time it took me to type "you'll get a better answer from an awk user" ...

Hi:

How about using xargs?

cat file|xargs

In ksh...
[tt]
list=$(<file1)
[/tt]
Or perhaps...
[tt]
list=$(echo $(<file1)|sed 's/ /, /g')[/tt]
