How do you create a script that creates a new local variable?

Local?

Code:

foo () {
Name=ANY
Value=Value
}

echo $Name $Value
foo
echo $Name $Value

How do I convert that into bash? I need it to be one line

it is bash

and what do you mean by local?

if you run a bash script, and have it set vars. they will only live as long as that bash session , when the script exits the vars are 'lost'

I did a bash function, it lives in current session, so if it sets vars, they remain

Code:

foo () {
Name=ANY
Value=Value
}

put that in a file, lets call it func_foo.bash
and source it ( with a . )

Code:

. /path/to/func_foo.bash

echo $Name $Value
foo
echo $Name $Value

one line?

Code:

foo () { Name="ANY" ; Value="Value" }

I do not really understand what do you need.
