[ale] SED

[Thorsten Hofrichter]

HAve a sed question. 
I have been trying to figure this out for a few minutes now
how do I substitute a character for a new line
example a file that contains a,b,c,d
I need it to output 
a
b
c
d
I need to use sed for this and have tried doing 
cat filename | sed s/,/\\n/g
I have read man pages but dont understant why that would not work
Any ideas??
Thanks in advance
