Declare Variables from a shell script in the shell

Question

Can you guys tell me how to write a shell script which declares for example a variable in the shell like this: var="foobar". It just has to write the exact same thing like I would write it manually in the shell.

appreciate help because this would help me a lot ! I am not so experienced in shell scripting :/

Answer 1

For this, you have to create a script ( file.sh , for example) containing the line:

var="foobar"

and then source the file:

source file.sh

or

. file.sh
