System Enviroment Path

[craigey1]

Is there any way to edit the PATH variable using autoit?

I've tried searching, but there are lots of threads with the words path, system & variable in them!

I just need to do a simple replace on the jdkpath, but obviuosly I need to beable to read & write to it.

Thanks

If you mean a file path, look at _PathSplit()

Maybe he means the PATH environment variable (which can be read/modified with EnvGet and EnvSet).

It may look like this for a permanent change

Global $join, $path, $split
$path = RegRead('HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment', 'Path')
If Not @error Then
    $split = StringSplit($path, ';')
    If Not @error Then
        For $i = 1 To $split[0]
            StringReplace($split[$i], 'jdkpath', 'new_jdkpath') ; alter jdkpath path
            $join &= $split[$i] & ';'
        Next
        If StringRight($join, 1) = ';' Then $join = StringTrimRight($join, 1)
        If RegWrite('HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment', 'Path', 'REG_EXPAND_SZ', $join) Then
            MsgBox(0, 'Path Changed', $join)
        EndIf
    EndIf
EndIf
