Update to my old comment about making path output readable, because cmd behavior has changed in Windows 10 : echo %path:;=◙% >con

@ChrisNava if the path is too long (say, 2226 characters), it only pasted 2047 characters - I have a windows 7 PC - 64 bits - where I need to add ;%JAVA_HOME%\bin at the end of the Path variable.

Assuming you don't have gnuutils, do as I do: echo %path:;=◙%. That is a newline character which you can type as ALT+10 (on the numpad). Or just copy-paste from here.

Assuming you have gnutils echo %path% | tr ; \n is a command-line equivalent of Chris' suggestion.
