Problem
I want to replace new lines in text with coma or space but do not change the last new line. I know of this question: How to replace newlines with tab characters? - but it does produce an tab on end instead of new line. So far I have come with: ``` awk 'NR>1{printf","} {printf $1} END{printf"\n"}' ``` Is there an easier way to do this? This is not an assignment, I am just curious want to level up my scripting.
