Environment variable is too large - environment-variables

I am trying to overcome this "environment variable is too large. This dialog allows setting values upto 2047 characters". The reason why I cannot just apply the fix listed here: Environment Variable is too large on Windows 10
is because I can't seem to modify any values in my path system variable. I get the error even when I attempt to delete an existing variable. So what gives?
Any advice on why I can't modify this path at all?

The following solution works on Windows10:
Environment Variables > System variables > Path > Edit
Edit environment variable > Edit text
Edit System Variable > Variable value
After editing the Variable value, click on the OK button.

Where does Postman store current value of environment variables?

I've been looking around my machine to see where the postman environment variables are stored. I've looked under AppData\Local\Postman, and C:\Users\username\Postman folders, and haven't found a config file that has a last modified date matching my change of environment variables.
I know I can export the environment variables, but I want to search over the current variables. And the exports don't include the current values, unless they replace the initial value, which I want to keep.
There are still ways to get around this. But I want to write a simple command to fetch some current environment variables via cmd, ex using grep.
So is there a way to check for the current environment variables? Where are they stored?
I don't think this will be a successful attempt. Postman seems to use a database, e.g. leveldb, according to information I found here. That will be stored as a binary file on your disk.
You can, however, have a look into the DB by going to View => Developer => Show DevTools and then going to Storage => IndexedDB => variable_sessions => workspace. I can find a current value for an environment variable like this:
But I don't see a way to search in this other than by keys which are uuids and not variable names or values.
All in all, exporting your environments into a text file might be the easiest option.

How to use an environment variable in Sapper's template.html?

I would like to use an environment variable within template.html so that I can change the content in the head for all pages based on where I'm running the app. Is this possible?
I never found a way to put environment variables in template.html, but I passed what I needed through server.js, picked it up in _layout.svelte, and included it in a <svelte:head> element.

Get all environment variables in Dlang

https://dlang.org/library/std/process/environment.html allows getting a particular environment variable.
But I see no way to get all environment variables or the list of all environment variable names.
What is the right way to retrieve the full environment in D?
In fact, I want to pass some environment variables to a child process. What is the right way to do it?
There is no need to get all variables to pass to a child process; that is the default. If you are using the std.process library, you can pass null for environment to keep the existing one entirely, or a set of just the keys and values you want to change to get just them changed, and the rest inherited.

Environment Variables setting with value of a Windows Environment Variable

I´m need to set a Variable on Linux using the configration on Putty. I can do that by setting this Variable on SSHD.CONF. It works.
But, I need to set this value dinamically, first I set the variable on Windows:
set WIN_USER_CODE=1324567890
Then I m trying to configure this as a value on PuTTy:
Category > Connection > Data > Environment Variables
Variable : LC_USER_CODE (authorized on sshd.conf)
Value : WIN_USER_CODE (value of the variable setted on Windows)
I doesn´t work... I´d tried in different ways like %WIN_USER_CODE%, $WIN_USER_CODE...
Can anybody help me with that?
Thanks!

Why does the DOS "path" command repeat entries?

(WinXP Home SP2)
path command output from CLI
Path variable value from My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables
There is nothing magical about the PATH environment variable that prevents duplicate entries.
Typically the individual paths are added to PATH via some type of installer, though they can also be added manually. It is the job of the installer to make sure duplicates are not entered. Some installers are lazy and don't bother to check to see if a given path already exists prior to insertion.
The initial value for PATH is built by combining the System and User environment settings from the registry.
Often times a batch process will attempt to augment the path with an additional entry, if and only if it does not already exist. How to check if directory exists in %PATH%? is a popular SO batch file question.
Probably the PATH variable itself is contained in the PATH
