Ruby is such a sweet language that you can achieve alot with little code
I'd like to see what 'one-liners' others have come up with.
here's one I find usefull.
ruby -e 'puts ENV["path"].downcase.split(";").sort'
handy for windows but *nix ppl would probably use sed.
show your config:
ruby -r yaml -r rbconfig -e'y Config::CONFIG'
-a

Not necessarily, but we would use PATH and ":"

I'm not sure I get why you'd need all this (YAML, the space trick, the
two cases). Does this:
ruby -e 'puts ENV["PATH"].downcase.split(/[:;]/).sort'
not work on all platforms? Or are there quote/escaping issues?

DOS (cmd.exe) will need the double- and single-quotes swapped:
ruby -e "puts ENV['PATH'].downcase.split(/[:;]/).sort"
But... the colon will cause probs, because of windoze paths
like C:\blah\blah ...

No. /home/foo/BIN and /home/foo/bin are different directories
on case-sensitive filesystems.
ruby -e "puts ENV['PATH'].split(File::PATH_SEPARATOR).sort"

Did you try it without swapping the quotes?
Unlike awk, mawk, and gawk, Ruby under DOS accepts single quotes as
argument wrappers. However, if the string contains |, <, or >, then
you had better use double quotes.

Follows version that makes PATH case-insensitive. Works even if you
have several environment variables that match /^path$/ (possible under
Linux et. al.) their content is printed one after another).
ruby -e 'ENV.keys.grep(/^path$/i).each { |x| puts ENV.split(File::PATH_SEPARATOR)}'

Terrorism is the systematic use of violence and brutality as a means of
gaining some political end. So the "War on Terrorism" is a failure if
it increases violence and brutality and even may be terrorism by itself
if some well-known incidents turn out not to be singular ones.

Whoa... ! Thanks. Makes me wonder if that always been true,
even back when the standard Ruby distribution for windows was
cygwin based? Or maybe I got so accustomed to
perl -e 'print "huzzah\n"'
Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.
I never tried it on ruby!
Thanks,

Bill
