(g)awk script to remove last dir from PATH

This script chops off the last dir off of the PATH (still need to assign back to PATH) echo $PATH | gawk -F’:’ ‘{ for(i=1; i<NF; i++) { if(i) { printf (":"); } printf("%s", $i); }}’

Writing an onLoad function that includes a delay.

This code was written out of desperation when I could not use an embedded APPLET’s isActive() function to check if the APPLET was loaded. Instead, I waited for 500 milliseconds. Hopefully, there are better uses for this code. <SCRIPT> function OnLoadFunction(milliseconds_time){ setTimeout(“delayedOnLoadFunction()”, milliseconds_time);} function delayedOnLoadFunction(){ /* Function body */}</SCRIPT> <body onLoad=”OnLoadFunction(500)”>
