Hi Gurus,
I have a file which has names each followed by semicolon(;). I need to
replace each of his semicolon with new line character with sed.

sample.txt
test1;test2;test3;test4

desired output:
test1
test2
test3
test4

Any help is greatly appreciated.

$ echo "test1;test2;test3;test4" | perl -lp073e1
test1
test2
test3
test4
