Re: Perl Path Editor for Unix

For those interested in a non-Perl-based approach to this problem, I have a set of bash/ksh functions

addpath
delpath
uniqpath
edpath

that allow you to manipulate path variables in various ways. (which are idempotent addition of paths, deletion of paths based on regex match, path uniquification, and path editing via your favourite editor)

They can be downloaded from http://www.netspinner.co.uk/Downloads/pathfunc.tgz

They're in the public domain so you can do what you like with them.

http://www.netspinner.co.uk/Downloads/pathfunc.tgz appears to be dead. Any idea where this code lives today?	[reply]
