The alternative is to make the shell handle the un-escaping:

echo hello,there |sed 's/,/'"\n"'/g'

It's undocumented in several ksh flavours, but nonetheless works. However, those flavours also (trying a quick few tests) support the better way, which is also undocumented though:

echo hello,there |sed $'s/,/\n/g'

I love to use pushd and popd for that

lolcat tricks and fun

In case you have ever wondered what it would look like to have all of your favourite console output piped through lolcat(6) 🏳️‍🌈, here is a nice example

required (one of *sh is enough)

Open Source OS
sh
csh
ksh
zsh
bash
fish
syntax skills on piping I/O
love of colours
typing skills
sense of humour

typing
man lolcat

...will get you the standard sh output delimited by the man command itself. This means that I used a simple trick to get all of my output piped through lolcat

ssh -Xv -p65534 -l userid |lolcat

This command syntax gets all of my commands in that ssh session piped through lolcat, creating an awsome rainbow colour galore

notes

ssh secure session piped through lolcat gets you a slower output, compliments of the inner workings of lolcat. Feel free to optimize the program and release the patches if the lowerspeed irks you.
test the speed by doing
ls -lR ~ and compare that in a standard ssh sessios without full lolcat pipe
I used the -X switch because I also start X programs from this shell (which I run in Xorg {it also works in wayland})
I use the -v switch because I love log messages of ssh
you can also animate your piped lolcat output with
lolcat -a
I watch the output on a large TV also, because lolcat(6) 🏳️‍🌈 is that awsome

lolcat --help

man lolcat(6) 🏳️‍🌈
