I have a file name .test with a echo statement. Now I want to run this file from .bashrc file. What I have done so far is:

My .test file contains:

echo "hello everyone"

My .bashrc file contains:

echo "hello world"

Now what I want is to run .test file from .bashrc file and here is what I did

In .bashrc file

echo "hello world"

ENV=$(/home/narwen/.test)

echo $ENV

Now when I try to run the .bashrc file from prompt like this

. .bashrc

I get

hello world

and errors like this

XAUTHORITY=/home/niraj/.Xauthority

_=/usr/bin/env

Can somebody help me please?

Just use:

. /path/to/.test

or:

source /path/to/.test

Or, if you want to keep the output of . /path/to/.test in a variable ENV, then use:

ENV=$(. /path/to/.test)

So, please don't use spaces around the = in assignments.

And later, you can use $ENV variable something like:

echo $ENV
