Environment Variables

[Steve2106]

Hi Guys,

Can you help me please?

The Environment Path Variable can only contain paths of a certain length

How do I setup an alias to a long path I.E. clabin = C:\stevesstuff\clarion\bin

Then in the Environment Path Variable I can just have C:\WinNT\System32;clabin;etc . . .

Thanks for your help,

Steve.

I don't think that environment vartiable have a limit on their length... here is the value of my environment variable

PATH = C:\PROGRA~2\Borland\CBUILD~1\Bin;C:\PROGRA~2\Borland\CBUILD~1\Projects\Bpl;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM;C:\Program Files\ATI Technologies\ATI.ACE\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\;C:\Program Files\backburner 2\;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\AGL;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Internet\Opera;C:\Programming\Dev-Cpp\bin;C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_04\bin;D:\Project\XML Parser\xerces\xerces-c\bin;

as you can see, it quite long but it's works fine...

to do this, create an environment variable called clabin, then in the Path variable add %CLABIN%

That's perfect.

Thankyou.
