rows and columns, Linux

[quartz]

Hi,

I have some dates (names) in one row and would like to have it in one column. I cannot find how to convert it from row to column, what ever I tried. Plz help.
Thanks

Is this just in a file? If so, what language are you attempting to use to do this? A shell script? C/C++? Java? Perl? Another one? Or is this in a database, and you're trying to manipulate those values?

Sorry, shell scripting. It is one txt file.

What do you have so far? My shell scripting is a little light, but I'm sure if you post where you are stuck, you can get some good direction from the members here.
