"Bash: command not found" for almost anything

[willabtsm]

Hello! Long time lurker, new member here.

I'm having a problem with Terminal, specifically bash (I think).

For almost all of the common bash/terminal commands I get
-bash: [command]: command not found
an example being
-bash: ifconfig: command not found

ls,cd,mkdir, et cetera still work.

I was messing around with my .bashrc and other bash files a while ago trying to fix a different problem, but I may have messed something up.

Can anyone help me fix this?

Sounds like you've messed up your PATH environment variable. Please enter the following in Terminal and post the result:

/bin/cat ~/.bashrc

Gee, that one seems familiar!

Sounds like you've messed up your PATH environment variable. Please enter the following in Terminal and post the result:

/bin/cat ~/.bashrc

running that gives me

export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

Thanks for the thread. Running the command

export PATH="/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin"

temporarily fixes the problem in that particular window. The last few posts didn't help me much as the commands were geared towards someone with an android sdk problem, it seemed.
