Adrian,
Couple of ways:
(hack)thebeast@ricklman# cat spaces.txt
a b c d
e f g h
i j k l
(hack)thebeast@ricklman# sed -e "s/ /,/g" < spaces.txt > commas.txt
(hack)thebeast@ricklman# cat commas.txt
a,b,c,d
e,f,g,h
i,j,k,l
Different syntax:
cat spaces.txt | sed -e "s/ /,/g" > commas.txt
Different tool than sed:
cat spaces.txt | tr ' ' ','
cat spaces.txt | awk '{gsub(" ",",",$0); print $0}'
Have fun,
