Want in Separate Line

[sammy]

I am struck with a task in my UNIX operating system. I have thousands of files. What I want to do is I want to read all these files and get the output from these files with each word written in a separate line. I want this to be done to input this output to a database further for processing. Kindly help me or guide me to achieve the desired output.

You can try awk programming as below:
awk '{ for(x=2;x<=NF;x++) print $1, $x }' filename

By using the above you could read all your files and get the output from these files with each word written in a separate line. Try out and let us know for further needs.
