I'm running OS 10.8. When I
echo $PATH
my terminal outputs
/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/local/git/bin:/usr/texbin:/Users/austinzuffi/Development/Android/adt-bundle-max-x86_64/sdk/tools
and i want to remove or at least edit
/Users/austinzuffi/Development/Android/adt-bundle-max-x86_64/sdk/tools
I can't find out where that string is entered. My /etc/paths shows
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
/usr/local/bin
I'm assuming there's a file such as .bashrc that adds the entry upon login. I just can't find out which file is doing it. If you know which files might append my path environment variable, please let me know so I can check!
Also, if eclipse is modifying the system variable, let me know. I'm assuming eclipse doesn't have that power however I'm new to it.
Thanks guys

grep
. Open a terminal and, from your home directory run
