Background
The tr command translates, delete, or squeezes characters from standard input. I am trying to create a cshell alias that outputs the setenv command such that each file or directory in the path is displayed on a new line.
In other words, I want this example output of setenv:
PATH=/some/dir:/some/second/dir:/some/third/dir
PROFILES= file:///some/file/here.txt;file:///some/second/file.xml;file:///some/third/file/there.pl
To become this:
PATH= /some/dir
/some/second/dir
/some/third/dir
PROFILES= file:///some/file/here.txt
file:///some/second/file.xml
file:///some/third/file/there.pl
Related Aliases that work
I have created aliases that output the individual environment variables like above:
- For PATH:
alias readablePath = 'echo "$PATH" | tr : ''\n'' ' - For PROFILES:
alias readableProfiles= 'echo "$PROFILES" | tr ; 'echo "$PATH" | tr : ''\n'' '
Attempted aliases that do not work
These are the aliases that I have tried that return tr: no match.
alias readEnv 'echo "setenv" | tr [:;] ''\n'' 'alias readEnv 'echo setenv | tr [:;] ''\n'' 'alias readEnv 'echo setenv | tr [:\;] ''\n'' 'alias readEnv 'echo setenv | tr [:;] ''\n'' '
These are the aliases that I have tried that return the string "setenv".
alias readEnv 'echo setenv | tr "[:;]" ''\n'' 'alias readEnv 'echo "setenv" | tr "[:;]" ''\n'' '
Question
How do I create an alias that successfully takes the output of setenv and inserts a newline where there is a ":" or a ";"?
alias csh setenv

To replace multiple characters in your (unix/linux) command line alias, you should rather use sed and regular expressions, as in Search and replace with sed when dots and underscores are present .
So something like:
sed 's/.|,/\n/g'
where . finds a dot (needs to be escaped, else it finds any character), | is the or operation, also escaped, and the new line also must have its \ escaped.
