My below .bat file add MySQL's bin directory to system PATH though the old PATH values get duplicated.
#echo off
set pathMySQL=C:\xampp\mysql
set p=%%
setx MYSQL_HOME "%pathMySQL%"
setx PATH "%p%MYSQL_HOME%p%\bin;%PATH%"
I expect the PATH value after this execution to be as below.
%MYSQL_HOME%\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program
Files\TortoiseSVN\bin
The actual value is as below - paths are repeated twice
%MYSQL_HOME%\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program
Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program
Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;
What I did wrong? How can I get over this?
The duplicated values in my system PATH are caused by how %PATH% is built up in Windows 7.
%PATH% = P1 + P2
P1 = PATH variable for machine
P2 = PATH variable for user
Clearing P2 to be empty will fix my issue.

I've just created a script file in MATLAB, but can not run it. The name of my script is getEnvFiles.m. When I first tried to run it, I got the following result:
>> getEnvFiles
'getEnvFiles' is not found in the current folder or on the MATLAB path, but exists in:
\\wsl$\ubuntu\home\me
Change the MATLAB current folder or add its folder to the MATLAB path.
So, I added this directory (which is actually the current directory) to the search path, but still got the same result:
>> addpath('\\wsl$\ubuntu\home\me')
>> getEnvFiles
'getEnvFiles' is not found in the current folder or on the MATLAB path, but exists in:
\\wsl$\ubuntu\home\me
Change the MATLAB current folder or add its folder to the MATLAB path.
When I check the path, it looks like this directory is on the path:
>> path
MATLABPATH
\\wsl$\ubuntu\home\me
I can further verify that this directory is my present directory:
>> pwd
ans =
'\\wsl$\ubuntu\home\me'
and that getEnvFiles.m is in this directory:
>> ls
. .emacs.d HarborData
.. .emacs~ RawHarborData
.bash_history .landscape at
.bash_logout .motd_shown getEnvFiles.m
.bashrc .profile test.m
.bashrc~ .sudo_as_admin_successful
.emacs
Is the issue that I'm using wsl (Windows Subsystem for Linux), or do I have some other misunderstanding?
Type rehash and then try running your script again. Even though you have added the new directory to your path, you need to update the path cache so that it knows about the new scripts it can see.
The problem seems to lie in WSL's ability to add new files to the directory. When I create a new script within MATLAB, and try to run it, I get the problem discussed above. However, running already existing files is not a problem. For now, my only solution is to close MATLAB after creating a new script and reopen it. Then, I can run it. Although, oddly, I can't open it in MATLAB's editor.....
This may or may not help, but ...
Sometimes you have to prepend execution with .\ in order to run scripts in PowerShell or from within the command prompt (in Windows, I'm not sure about other operating systems).
I get this error quite often, especially when not in Admin mode.
Does this work?
% Get path of executing script.
filePath = matlab.desktop.editor.getActiveFilename; % Note that this isn't necessarily the same as the output of 'pwd()'.
% Or: filePath = mfilename('fullpath')
% Make sure all nested directories of filePath are on the path, then tell MATLAB where you're working.
addpath( genpath( filePath ) ); % If this fails, try one folder up the tree:
% addpath( genpath( fullfile( filePath, '.' ) );
cd( filePath );
Alternatively, it looks like you might have written and saved the script, and then typed it into the command window to execute. If it's not a special type of script (Function/Class/GUI/etc.) then you can simply click 'Run' in the Editor tab (or the F5 key) and MATLAB should prompt you with a 'Change Folder' option, to which you should acquiesce.
If you're running this script through the WSL terminal, try my suggested code.
in my startup.m-file I call a script init.m. In this init file I determine the folder containing this file, want to set the current directory to this folder and continue with some other initialization stuff.
But when I start Matlab, the file will be executed, but the cd command seems to be ignored and the directory won't get changed. Does somebody know why? I.e. the matlabpath variable is extended by the subfolders....
startup.m:
run 'D:\FloatingZone\mscrystalgrowth\trunk\MATLAB\FzKameradaten\FzCameraEvaluation\init.m';
init.m
% get path to folder containing this function
folder=mfilename('fullpath');
file=mfilename();
folder=folder(1:end-length(file));
% change folder
cd(folder);
% add subfolder to the top of the MATLAB path
addpath(genpath('Tools'));
MATLAB did exactly what you told it; there's nothing special about the startup scripts.
From the documentation for the run command:
run changes to the folder that contains the script, executes it, and resets back to the original folder. If the script itself changes folders, then run does not revert to the original folder, unless scriptname changes to the folder in which this script resides.
So your cd command didn't actually do anything, run had already changed the directory. And then changed it back, exactly as expected.
I'm not 100% clear on what you want your startup to do. As already pointed out run is working correctly.
Alternative startup.m
if isdeployed == false
cd 'D:\FloatingZone\mscrystalgrowth\trunk\MATLAB\FzKameradaten\FzCameraEvaluation\'
init();
end
function init.m stored in your FzCameraEvaluation\ folder.
function init
addpath ( genpath ( '../Tools' ) );
end
Does that work?
I have a batch file that needs to have a different PATH environment variable to the rest of the machine. After a bit of googling, using "SETLOCAL" should change a variable in the batch script, and as soon as it ends it is chnaged back, so my script is:
SETLOCAL
set PATH="C:\Qt\4.8.1\bin;"
qmake project.pro
And I get the output:
'qmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Even though qmake is at the path "C:\Qt\4.8.1\bin\qmake.exe", and ruinning
C:\Qt\4.8.1\bin\qmake.exe
from the command line works fine. Any ideas?
try this:
set PATH="C:\Qt\4.8.1\bin"
but better:
set "PATH=%path%;C:\Qt\4.8.1\bin"
If you set the path to set "C:\Qt\4.8.1\bin;" the semi colon is included in the path as part of a valid folder name.
I got the following error while starting JBoss from a command line prompt today:
'findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command
Please google it, you can find a lot of answers. But do as below to fix it. Add the following value to Right Click My Compuer -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System Variables -> Select Path variable -> append the below value.
C:\WINDOWS\system32
It should work with that change.
As others pointed, issue is in wrong settings of PATH variable in Windows.
According to article this is most probably because some stupid installer wrongly modified PATH variable in Windows registry. Registry has 2 different string value types - REG_SZ and REG_EXPAND_SZ. Only the second one allows for expansion of %SystemRoot%.
So check your path by typing set path in command prompt. If you see unexpanded %SystemRoot% and other variables in Path, you are affected (PATH should show only plain directory names, not variables).
You need to edit Path variable in registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Environment and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment. As it is not possible to change the type of key, save the path value somewhere, delete the key and re-create it with type REG_EXPAND_SZ. You need to logout for changes to take effect.
for me it works when I've coped findstr(from windows/system32) to wildfly/bin
Please go throught the simplest steps:-
go to C:\Windows\system32\ and copy findstr.exe file.
paste this file into the location C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin
Run your jboss again you will get out of this.....
Check to see if you %SystemRoot% is evaluating (type set path into a command prompt, you should not see %SystemRoot%, but instead that actual path). If your path variable's (user, or systems) first entry begins with an %(an environment variable) this can cause an issue.
To resolve this, simply swap this first entry with anything else in your path that does not lead with an environment variable.
You can also hard code the directory by replacing 'findstr' with 'C:\Windows\system32\findstr'. This is useful when using systems with restricted user permissions.
I have try to work with play framework but stuck with to run activator.bat file but solution is the same just copy file from windows/system32/findsr and past it to under stuck folder then run the respective file again.
thanks to andrewsiand Suryaprakash
Please beware that current Windows systems use a Capital "S" for the System directory, so:
C:\WINDOWS\System32
%SystemRoot%\System32
Omitting the capital S will result in a neglect of the line in the %PATH%
In my case (not JBoss related) the following helped to fixed this error.
Instead of:
SET path="%path%;C:\some\additional\path"
I used:
SET "path=%path%;C:\some\additional\path"
For IBM ACE solution for
'findstr' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
Go to the path C:\Windows\System32
Find the findstr.exe, copy it and then find the path where you bin file of your application is found. eg C:\Program Files\IBM\ACE\11.0.0.12\server\bin then past it inside the bin file
cancel the console of ace and re-open it.
Then run ACE toolkit command on ace console.
Then press enter, now it can open.
I am using the system command in MATLAB as follows (with the current directory being 'scripts'):
[status, result] = system('cd ..\\TxtInOut')
However, invoking the system command does not seem to work. It returns status = 0 and result = ''.
Any suggestions?
If you want to change directories, you should use the CD command. The argument can be either a full path or relative path:
cd('c:\matlab\toolbox'); %# Full path to a directory
cd('scripts'); %# Move to a subdirectory "scripts"
cd('..\TxtInOut'); %# Move up one level, then to directory "TxtInOut"
If you want information about a directory, you should use the DIR command. DIR will return an m-by-1 structure of information for a directory, where m is the number of files and folders in the directory. Again, the argument can be either a full path or relative path:
data = dir('c:\matlab\toolbox'); %# Data for a full path to a directory
data = dir('scripts'); %# Data for a subdirectory "scripts"
NOTE: When working on different platforms (i.e. Windows or UNIX), you will have to pay attention to whether you use the file separator \ or /. You can get the file separator for your platform using the function FILESEP. You can also build your file paths using the function FULLFILE.
Any command executed by "system" is external to MATLAB. A command shell is generated, executes your request, and then returns the result. The 0 result indicates successful completion: the command shell changed its current directory as requested and then returned. (Command shells use non-zero to indicate an error, because there are usually many more ways that a program can fail than succeed.) Unfortunately that only affects the command shell's current directory - see gnovice's answer for how to actually change the directory.
you can use cd, dir, ls, etc directly in matlab without call system functions.
You can also use the underlying operating system commands by preceding them by an exclamation sign.
For instance:
!dir will show you the current directory contents in Windows
!pwd will show you the current directory in Linux/Mac
But calling cd does not change the current directory!
