I am trying to write a bash shell function that will allow me to remove duplicate copies of directories from my pathPATH environment variable.

I was told that it is possible to achieve this with a one line command using the awk command, but I cannot figure out how to do it. Anybody know how? I am new to linux so please don't be too technical.
