Hi budies!
Really need some help (and sorry for my English, i'm come frome France),
I'm on ubuntu, bash.
I've got a file with a lot of names delimited with a ";" written like this:

Francois de france; Julien d'amerique; Emilie de Suede; gustave de Picardie;

It's very difficult to read it, cause i have hundreds of them.
I'm trying to sort them like this:

Francois de France;
Julien d'Amerique;
(...)
Gustave de Picardie;

So i tried to use the ";" as a delimiter and reading the arguments:

cut -d ";" -f 1-100 file.txt

It only give me my first style list in the terminal....I'm completly blocked...
Is there here a Linux Champion that can help me..?

Thanks all !!!

And as you are on Ubuntu, moving it here. Though that doesn't matter for the solution Try this:

Vince,

Thanks budies !
