I'm not sure I understand. Where exactly would you be copying those paths? Do you mean you want to copy a path and replace part of it with an environment variable?

Ok… but Path Copy Copy is not used at all in your example… which is basically what prompted my initial question :-)

If I am copying a path for which an environment variable exists, I would like to be able to copy the path with the variable.

Interesting idea. But how would be proceed if multiple environment variables exist for the path? Do we go alphabetically?

humm..
"[if included %PROGRAMFILES(x86)% == %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%]
copy "%PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\path\blabla, "
else
\path\blabla (or C:\path\blabla)
"
something in this direction, could be not a bad idea... :) 👍
"Copy path with Enviroment Variable" (if variable exist)"

This has been implemented as a custom command element in the next major release (tentatively 18.0).

Thank you; I just note that %ProgramFiles% (x86) should be %ProgramFiles(x86)%.

Is that something from this issue or did you really see this being replaced by the custom command element? If the latter, you can enter a separate bug and I will look at it.
