Subject: RE: [HPADM] Awk and $PATH
Because $0 is the whole line not a record - you'd have to right a loop to
print each record in awk to achieve what you want.
echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n'

Subject: [HPADM] Awk and $PATH
Can someone tell me why:
if this works:
# echo $PATH | awk -F: '{print $1}'
/usr/sbin/
why does't this work:
# echo $PATH | awk -F: '{OFS="\n";print $0}'
/usr/sbin/:/usr/bin/:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/opt/ansic/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/con
trib/bin:/opt/fc/bin:/opt/fcms/bin:/opt/nettladm/bin:/opt/upgrade/bin:/opt/p
d/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/contrib/bin/X11:/opt/resmon/bin:/opt/pred/bin:/opt/h
parray/bin:/opt/perf/bin:/opt/ignite/bin:/opt/cxperf/bin:/opt/langtools/bin:
/opt/imake/bin://opt/perl/bin:/opt/aCC/bin:/opt/hpnp//bin:/opt/networker/bin
:/opt/graphics/common/bin:/opt/samba-2.2.5/source/bin:/sbin:/home/root:/usr/
emc/ECC/bin:/usr/symcli/bin:/usr/symmapps/vcm:/usr/local/bin:/home/saroot/bi
n:/opt/perf/bin:/usr/symcli/bin:/usr/symcli64/bin/
What I want to do, is separate each separate directory in $PATH on it's own
line.
