[Solved] making each word of a line to a separate line

Hi,

I have a line which has n number of words with separated by space.

I wanted to make each word as a separate line.

for example,

i have a file that has line like

i am a good boy

i want the output like,

i
am
a 
good
boy
 

Please suggest.

tr " " "\n" < file

And another one:

printf '%s\n' $(< infile)

And another one...

xargs -n1 < infile

@radoulov, that would allow the shell to do unintended filename expansion, no?

Though I'd use the "tr" in post #2, yet another one ...

awk 'BEGIN {RS=" ";ORS="\n"} {print $0}' infile

Keep 'm coming

awk '{$1=$1}1' OFS="\n" infile

grep -Eo '[^ \t]+' infile

sed 's/[ \t][ \t]*/\
/g' infile

Yes. I should have mentioned it, thanks!

xargs -n 1 echo < filename

Many Thanks to all. It is workine fine.
