Sorry for the off-topic message. I could really use some help! I've been
banging my head over a stupid problem I'm experiencing on OS X and can't
waste anymore time. If I can't resolve this quickly, I will have to jump on
by Windoze box.
I've been working on Nexstep/Openstep since 1992, so I know a bit of Unix.
Right now, I'm trying to run a shell script from the terminal to set a few
environment variables. Problem is, no matter what I do, the variables are
undefined after I ran the script. I have a text file named 'setEnv.tcsh'
like this:
#!/bin/tcsh -f
setenv FOO "bar"
echo -n 'Foo is "'
echo -n $FOO
echo '".'
I run it from the terminal like ./setEnv.tcsh. It runs and displays the
value of FOO as 'Foo is "bar"', but whenever the script completes and I
check the value of ${FOO}, I get undefined variable.
What's going on?
Thanks for pointing my obvious stupid mistake...
-Laurent.
