    hpux-admins:
     

    David Totsch had another suggestion:
     
        echo $PATH | awk 'BEGIN {RS=":"} {print $1 }'
     
    George's, again, was:
     
            echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n'
     
    What I wanted to do was put every $PATH directory on a seperate line...
     
    Both do the trick.

    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'

    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.
