    Not sure if this is right place but let's say i have a txt file

    with keywords

    keyword1
    keyword2
    keyword3

    and i want to put commas after each one so it wil be
    keyword1,
    keyword2,
    keyword3,


    How do i do that besides typing the actual , after eahc word. That would take years for a fewhundred keywords?

    Read the text file into a string variable, use a replace command to replace the carrage return/ line feed with a comma followed by a carrage return, write the string to a new text file.

    Use tr -s "\n" "\n," in an unix shell.
