> And if you can replace text in the path with DISABLED, why can't you replace it with empty, or at least a single semicolon?

I can only replace a fixed leading part not the whole entry because there doesn't seem to be a wildcard mechanism like regex s/c:\\perls\\.*?;//g ... I can only s/c:\\perls\\/DISABLED/g

(Well I could if I iterated over all possible complete entries)

demo:

c:\tmp>set DEMO=C:\perls\strawberry-perl-5.32.1.1-64bit-portable\perl\
+site\bin;

c:\tmp>set DEMO=%DEMO:C:\perls\=DISABLED%

c:\tmp>echo %DEMO%
DISABLEDstrawberry-perl-5.32.1.1-64bit-portable\perl\site\bin;
