how to edit '|' result from sqllite3 using sed command - sql

Question

hey guys so i have this database:
id | item_name | number_of_store| store_location|
+----+---------+-------------------+-------------+
| 3 | margarine | 2 | QLD |
| 4 | margarine | 2 | NSW |
| 5 | wine | 3 | QLD |
| 6 | wine | 3 | NSW |
| 7 | wine | 3 | NSW |
| 8 | laptop | 1 | QLD |
+----+---------+-------------------+-------------+
i got the result i wanted using the distinct from sqllite3 syntax which are the following:
id | item_name | number_of_store| store_location|
+----+---------+-------------------+-------------+
| 3 | margarine | 2 | QLD |
| 4 | margarine | 2 | NSW |
syntax are :
sqlite3 store.sqlite 'select item_name,number_of_store,store_location from store where item_name = 'margarine'> store.txt
but when i saved it to txt i got
3|margarine|2|QLD
4|margarine|2|NSW
however my desired output in the txt are
3,margarine,2,QLD
4,margarine,2,NSW
i think i should use SED but not quite sure how to do it
i tried with
'|sed 's/|//g' |sed 's/|//g'|sed 's/^//g'|sed 's/$//g'
however the result only erase the '|' i'm not too sure how to change it to ','

Answer 1

Though you should sql itself but as per your request you could use following sed.
awk '{gsub("|",",")} 1' Input_file
Or in sed:
sed 's#|#,#g' Input_file
In case you want to save output into Input_file itself use sed -i.bak option it will take backup of Input_file and save output into Input_file itself.
