I have a variable like this: var1=Makefile .xcompile /root/build/.config src/arch/i386/Makefile.inc means some words separated by spaces. I want to print each word on a separate line. I think I have to use "awk" or "sed" string processing tools. I wonder if anybody have experience with them or any other means to do it.
printf "%s\n" $var1 (You might want to precede that with 'set -f'.) -- Chris F.A. Johnson, <http://cfajohnson.com/> Author: Pro Bash Programming: Scripting the GNU/Linux Shell (2009, Apress) Shell Scripting Recipes: A Problem-Solution Approach (2005, Apress)
