Useful Terminal Commands.

[leon.p]

echo $PATH | sed "s,:,\n,g"   works in terminal but not when assigned to an alias
had to remove the single quote in front of echo

what am I missing ?

---

btw I used
alias path=echo $PATH | sed "s,:,\n,g"

Try the following:

Code:

alias path='echo $PATH | sed "s,:,\n,g"'

You have to quote the command because an alias is effectively a veriable in bash.
