msys path error due to space in the directory name

Question

I launched the msys console and checked the path environment variable. I got the following:

$ $PATH
sh: /c/Users/wud/AppData/Local/Continuum/Miniconda3/Library/mingw-w64/bin/:.:/us
r/local/bin:/mingw/bin:/bin:/c/Program: No such file or directory

Obviously the space in "Program Files" is the culprit. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

The actual problem there is that you just did $PATH and not echo $PATH. By doing that, you tried to run your path as if it were a program, rather than just display it. There's no actual problem with a space in your path.
