Convert tab delimited file into comma delimited on Mac

Problem

Need to convert tab delimited file to comma delimited on Mac.

Solution

Use sed utility, note that standard version doesn't understand \t, so you can either generate tab symbol by pressing Ctrl+V and Tab or install posix sed.

sed 's/ /,/g' <source file> > <target file>
