I have a file which gets generated based on the arguments and it has the following contents.

```
2012-12-31
2012-12-30
2012-12-29

```

Now, these are actually date partitions for hive query. So, I want to use them in my hive query where I specify each of these partitions in `WHERE` clause. Something like below

```
 WHERE log_date IN ('2012-12-31','2012-12-30', '2012-12-29')

```

So, I am looking the output from `paste` as

```
 2012-12-31','2012-12-30','2012-12-29

```

I am using the following, but I think the `-d` parameter is a list of delimiter and not one complete delimiter.

```
paste -sd"','" datefile

```

Any idea how can I do that?
