Subject:
sed split on pipe
Have been googling for some time now and every command I tried fails. I
want to use sed from the command line or use it in a windows batch file to
split on a pipe delimited file, windows server. The examples have \n as the
carriage return code, but all that happens is the pipe is replaced by the
letter n.
the file has a space between each line
