I do not know       ahead of time what the components are. I would like to remove all but the       first occurrence of any component. We can assume that duplicate components       appear in the exact same        form as the non-duplicates, (e.g. we would never have both C:\X\Y and       C:/X/Y). In the above example variable x's value is the input and the result       would be:       >        > C:\A;C:\B       >        > Some desirable criteria include:       > - not to use any software that does not come with Windows       > - run quickly as its done on the fly each time I run an associated program       so it could affect the start up time if it were too slow       > - I would prefer not to write any files in doing this       >        > I guess I could just ignore this issue and just let there be duplicates on       the path (and in fact that is what I am currently doing) but if there is a       nice solution to this it would make the resulting PATH a bit cleaner.              @echo off       setlocal       set x=C:\A;C:\A;C:\B;C:\A;C:\B;C:\B;C:\A       for %%i in (%x%) do (call echo %%x%%|find /i /c "%%i" 2>nul>nul&&call set       x=%%x:%%i=%%&&call set z_v=%%z_v%%%%i)       echo %z_v%       :end       pause       endlocal              one line................              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
