[Fish-users] Remove path from $fish_user_paths

[Ryan Burnett]

I accidentally added a path to $fish_user_paths:

set -U fish_user_paths $fish_user_paths /usr/local/php5

How can I remove this /usr/local/php5 path?

Hi Ryan,

According to the documentation you can do:

set -e $fish_user_paths[X]

Where X is the element you want to delete (arrays start at 1 in fish).

See http://fishshell.com/docs/current/commands.html#set: <http://fishshell.com/docs/current/commands.html#set:>

"In erase mode, if variable indices are specified, only the specified slices of the array variable will be erased.”

Hi Diego,

Thanks for your reply. When I:

set -e $fish_user_paths[1]

...I get this error:

set: Erase needs a variable name

Next I tried:

set -e $fish_user_paths[/usr/local/php5]

...and received the same error.

Any idea how I can remove the /usr/local/php5 path from my $fish_user_paths?

Thanks,

Ryan

Ryan,

My mistake in my initial reply, you don’t use the $ in set. This works:

set -U -e fish_user_paths[3]

Lose the dollar sign: set -e fish_user_paths[1]

Look at the examples in 'man set'. When you use the dollar sign it
dereferences the variable, i.e. turns it into its value.
