Convert PATH to lines in order to grep
I want to regexp check if a path is in my PATH environment variable.There are many ways to achieve this, but this one is the one I want to show you today:
# echo $PATH | awk '{gsub(":","\n",$0); print $0;}' /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /sbin /bin /var/cfengine/bin
I can then "grep" what I want from this.
