removing one directory in PATH env
 

hi there:

i have just learn how to add directory to the existing enviromental variable by doing

PATH=$PATH:/newdirectory

but i can't seem to figure out how to remove a particular directory, can anyone help?

thanks

CHUN

Just don't add it to the PATH variable or after it has been set just edit the variable to what you like..

thanks, so to remove a particular directory is to redifine all but the one i want to remove?

CHUN

Yep ... why set it first and remove it later? :)

Just wouldn't make sense, would it?


If it's something you need changed once in a
blue moon you could probably
export PATH=`echo $PATH|sed 's/remove_me//'`



Cheers,

well, i set it to the wrong directory, that's why;)
