grep a string from PATH variable and then remove that string/path

[sandeep t]

Let's consider the PATH variable is defined as:

PATH=.;C:\Program Files\MKS Toolkit\mksnt;e:\zip_v\bin;e:\sthakkar\vod_vp1\lib

My objective is to remove the mksnt path if found in PATH variable. That means PATH should look like this:

PATH=.;e:\zip_v\bin;e:\sthakkar\vod_vp1\lib

How do I do it using sed, awk, cut?

I tried making use of field separator of awk but no luck..

sed 's/[^;]\+mksnt;//'
