craigey1 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therks Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Maybe he means the PATH environment variable (which can be read/modified with EnvGet and EnvSet). My AutoIt Stuff | My Github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
