export cmd


Hi,
I am trying to set few env. variables
I was running scsh shell, I was doing: setenv STEM_DIR release3.2-linux/data
it worked fine. Fine I wanted to work with bash shell and when I tried to use the export cmd I got errors, probably with the syntax that I cannot fix.
I do this: export STEM_DIR = "release3.2-linux/data" and I get :
bash: export: `=': not a valid identifier
bash: export: `release3.2-linux/data': not a valid identifier

Any help is appreciated
Thanks

#STEM_DIR ="release3.2-linux/data"
#export STEM_DIR

and if you change the value it still stays global - I think theres a way to do it on one line but it escapes me at the moment

Just give those spaces a miss ...
Code:
export STEM_DIR="release3.2-linux/data"
and it's all sweet :)


Cheers,
Tink
