Hi!

This is a really helpful article thanks!

I am trying to remove all double quotes and angled brackets, and replcase all semicolons and colons with newlines in a text file with gawk.

Can you help?

I have trouble making my scripts work.
I use gawk3.1.6 for Windows and following are some of the codes I have tried.

awk {gsub(/,/,"\n")}1 
awk {gsub(/\"/,"")}1
