Manipulating file content



Hi list,

this one is for all the regexp, shell, and editing-experts on this
list.  Suppose I have a comma-seperated or tab-seperated file and I want
to flip the lines and columns.  So an input file like:

	a,1,A
	b,2,B
	c,3,C

would be transformed into:

	a,b,c
	1,2,3
	A,B,C

Is there an fast and easy way of doing this?  Ideally through the shell
or with VIM.  I would RTFM, but I have no clue which manual to read.

TIA,
Viktor
