Remove unwanted path name from %path% variable via batch

Question

Scope: Windows XP or newer Tools: Batch script

I need to be able to remove an unneeded path name from the system %PATH% variable. I know how to add a new path name

Answer 1

After trying SachaDee's answers I got errors with paths like

C:\Program Files (x86)

with brackets: Program Files (x86)\Directory gave me

Directorywas unexpected at this time. (no matter what time I tried it)

I added

set $line=%$line:)=^^)%

before the for-loop and

set $newpath=!$newpath:^^=!

after the loop (not sure if it is necessary)

@echo off
setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
set path
set $line=%path%
set $line=%$line: =#%
set $line=%$line:;= %
set $line=%$line:)=^^)%

for %%a in (%$line%) do echo %%a | find /i "oracle" || set $newpath=!$newpath!;%%a
set $newpath=!$newpath:#= !
set $newpath=!$newpath:^^=!
set path=!$newpath:~1!

And it is now working.
