SPUG: perl one-liner help

[Duane Blanchard]

Hi,

This should be the simplest thing, but I'm not able to get it.

I have a list of names in a file separated by a semicolon and a space:

Starr, Ringo; McCartney, Paul; Lennon, John; Harrison, George;

and I want to substitute each /; / with a /\n/.

I'm running WinXP.

perl -e "s/; /\n/" desktop/list.txt

Thanks for any tips.

Thx,

D
