It appears to be common to split on ; and your program is no exception.
It doesn't appear to handle quoted path names, which are valid, both the "pa;th" and "pa th"\"of space" variety
- shell commands (copy paste into cmd.exe):
md "pa;th"
echo @echo how the pa;th are ya > "pa;th"\pathme.bat
pathme
set path="pa;th";%path%
pathme
md "pa;th"\"of space"
echo @echo how the pa;th\of space are ya > "pa;th\of space"\pathem.ba
+t
pathem
set path="pa;th"\"of space";%path%
pathem
- Output:
C:\>md "pa;th"
C:\>echo @echo how the pa;th are ya > "pa;th"\pathme.bat
C:\>pathme
'pathme' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\>set path="pa;th";%path%
C:\>pathme
how the pa;th are ya
C:\>md "pa;th"\"of space"
C:\>echo @echo how the pa;th\of space are ya > "pa;th\of space"\pathe
+m.bat
C:\>pathem
'pathem' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
C:\>set path="pa;th"\"of space";%path%
C:\>pathem
how the pa;th\of space are ya

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
