Each word on a separate line

Question

I have a sentence like

This is for example

I want to write this to a file such that each word in this sentence is written to a s

Answer 1

Try using :

string="This is for example"

printf '%s\n' $string > filename.txt

or taking advantage of bash word-splitting

string="This is for example"

for word in $string; do
    echo "$word"
done > filename.txt
