find all man dirs and build windex... HELP!

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

My goal is to find all my 'man' dirs in my sw structure and from that create a windex db. I get many new software dirs every week soo I need to rebuild the windex db very often. I've started with this:

OS: Solaris 8

#!/bin/bash

find /sw/tools -type d -name 'man*' -print

/sw/tools/matlab/7.0.1/man
/sw/tools/gnat/5.01a/man
/sw/tools/gnu/man
etc...

How can I make this list suitible for a varible like MANPATH like:

/sw/tools/matlab/7.0.1/man:/sw/tools/gnat/5.01a/man:/sw/tools/gnu/man...

If I get a complete MANPATH list I will be able to build a windex db with catman. Will the awk or nawk command be able to do what I want, and if soo, how?

Please help me... :confused:

Thanks, but I didn't get any output from this.

I used the below from another Moderator:
find......| nawk -v ORS=':' '1' or
find......| tr '\n' ':'

actually it should be:
find blah | paste -s -d: -
