Hi
I have a file with contents like
china
india
france
japan
italy
germany
.
.
.
.
etc....
I want the output as
china|india|france|japan|italy|germany|.|.|.
How to achieve this ?
one way
tr -s '\n' '|' < inputfile | sed 's/|$//' > newfile
Another:
paste -sd\| file
Hope this should work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AWk:
cat filename | awk '{printf "%s|",$0}'
or more simpler one using tr command
cat filename | tr '\n' '|'
