sourcing the .bashrc
Hello,
I am quite new to Linux... I need to set some aliases and I can't get it to work. Can somebody tell me what's wrong?
I modified the .bashrc file in my home directory. I added:
alias pmv= '/home/vera/MGLTools-1.4.5/share/bin/pmv'
saved it and ran source .bashrc
The shell returned a line:
if: Expression Syntax
and the alias does not work. (Command not found.) The shell used is tcsh. Is there something wrong in the syntax of the alias? (the path is correct).
Thanks a lot!

Hello !
I want to make a script like that.
#!/bin/csh -f
setenv toto me
setenv titi you
setenv tata $1
in which tata is visible outside the script, after sourcing this script.
It seems that you can only do
source script and not
source script arg
How can I do that ?
