I'm trying to set environment variables that will be visible
when my D program exits.
It is possible in a windows batch file using the set command
(like set "VAR=VALUE" )
However, running this in D using:
import std.process;
import std.stdio;
void main(){
auto pid1 = spawnShell(`set "VAR=VALUE"`);
pid1.wait();
auto pid2 = spawnShell(`set`);
pid2.wait();
}
however, upon exit, there is no VAR=VALUE in the environment.
Using std.process.environment["VAR"]= "VALUE"; doesnt store the
variable in the parent either.
Any solutions that people know of?
Type setx /? in the command shell. (Note the x).
