Trim leading space from PATH

[Gisle Vanem]

Before upgrading to TCC 30, I have used 4NT 5.0 (since 2004) with a complex setup for my PATH.
Like f:\gv\4nt\environ.nt with:

MASTER_PATH=f:\gv\bat;^
            f:\util;^
            f:\util\zip-tools;^
            f:\util\NirSoft2;^
            f:\util\WinFlex;^
            f:\util\nant-0.92\bin;^
            %MINGW32\bin\CMake3-24\bin;^
            %MINGW32\src\Sound\FFmpeg\bin;^
            %MINGW32\src\inet\Crypto\OpenSSL\bin;^

etc. And reloading it with env /r f:\gv\4nt\environ.nt.

MASTER_PATH then gets assigned to PATH (in another .btm-file) and further modified depending on
which GNU-C compiler I want to use etc.

Now with TCC I have to write it in this IMHO ugly way (no leading spaces):

MASTER_PATH=f:\gv\bat;^
f:\util;^
f:\util\zip-tools;^
f:\util\NirSoft2;^
f:\util\WinFlex;^
f:\util\nant-0.92\bin;^
%MINGW32\bin\CMake3-24\bin;^
%MINGW32\src\Sound\FFmpeg\bin;^
%MINGW32\src\inet\Crypto\OpenSSL\bin;^

since I fail to get the a set PATH=%@trimall[%PATH] to work correctly.
It e.g. replaces c:\Program Files into c:\ProgramFiles. How do I do this?

What is ENV?

v:\> type environ.nt
MASTER_PATH=c:\one\two;^
            c:\three\four;^
            c:\five\six

v:\> set /r environ.nt

v:\> set mas*
MASTER_PATH=c:\one\two;c:\three\four;c:\five\six

env`? It's a POSIX program AFAIK.

But I fixed it with this:

iff %_cmdproc. == TCC. then
  set PATH=%@replace[; ,;,%@trimall[%path]]

You may want to take advantage of the new and upgraded PATH command.

Several changes since 4NT 5.0

There is also the DIRENV command,
introduced in v30,
which configures the environment on a per-directory basis.

I know, but I'm still using 4NT. TCC is very confusing when it comes to setting colours etc.
Perhaps related to the IMHO buggy Virtual Terminal Sequences in Win-10.
Not sure if I should enable Legacy Console again.
