If you have the mysql package installed, you've got a fantastic tool
called replace. In my opinion, this should be taken out of mysql and
bundled in a more common location like coreutils. You don't need a
mysql server running - just the client package installed.
replace ', ' '* ' -- $filename
replace can process multiple files at once and does the changes in
place.
[ewilts@(protected) ewilts]$ cat foo
109889-01 : 109353-04,109353-04 : : $ SUNWkvmx, SUNWkvm, SUNWctu, SUNWmdb
[ewilts@(protected) ewilts]$ replace ', ' '* ' -- foo
foo converted
[ewilts@(protected) ewilts]$ cat foo
109889-01 : 109353-04,109353-04 : : $ SUNWkvmx* SUNWkvm* SUNWctu* SUNWmdb
