How to join multiple lines of file names into one with custom delimiter?

Question

I would like to join the result of `ls -1` into one line and delimit it with whatever i want. Are there any standard Linux commands I can use to achieve this?

Answer 1

A GNU/Linux distributions should come with a translate command.

For example, if you'd like to delimit with a comma, try:

ls -1 | tr '\n' ','

See man tr for more info.
