'PATH' and Environment Variables

[jsantos]

Question...   

If I create a PATH environment variable within RadASM, or within the .ini file for the respective currently set assembler, does it OVERwrite the current Operating System PATH variable, or is this PATH environment variable in RadASM internally separate from the OS' PATH environment variable?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Joscci

Setting the PATH variable in RadASM only affects RadASM. You can choose if you want to add paths to the existing variable by adding a ; at the end.

Hello Ketil...  thanks for the reply.  :bg

So, I'm a bit confused as to the correct syntax...  which of the following is the correct way of specifying paths within a single variable?  Is the comma-delimiter legal?  I think I recall seeing it somewhere, but I don't remember were...  I think it was in the original masm.ini fiile -- is there a difference between the two methods shown below?

Code Select Expand

1=PATH, $R\foo, $R\bar, $R\foobar

...or...

Code Select Expand

1=PATH, $R\foo; $R\bar; $R\foobar

Thanks in advance.

The second is the correct syntax, except you cant use $R. Only full paths can be given.

Ah!  that explains why I was having problems in places.

Thanks for clarifying this.
