- Subject: beginner question: using 'set VAR=...'
Using Cygwin, I'm trying to run some .bat scripts that contain 'set
VAR=....' statements. However, after the script is run, those variables
defined by the 'set' statement are not recognized (as environment
variables). These are variables that are to exist temporarily (i.e. during
the session or time that the Cygwin window is open), so I do not want to
put them in CYGHOME/cygwin.bat.
Any advice?
Thank you.
