Oops, should have read more carefully.  Try:

$ tr '\n' , < file.in | sed 's/,$//' > file.out

The bit about a specific line is more difficult, though you could
probably use a combination of head(1) and tail(1).

Or just use Perl.

I don't know how to do "Hello World!" in Perl, let alone trying to figure this out with it :)

The second example worked like a charm:

tr '\n' , < host-ports | sed 's/,$//' > $port_temp

That did the trick, aside from rewriting the line in .nessusrc with the output, which I can I can do in a minute or two..

Thanks!
