Moving from .cshrc to .bashrc
At work I've been moved from ksh to bash per our policy. I haven't configured a .profile or .cshrc before but when I first started the guy that trained me (on just what I need to know in order to do the job) let me copy his .profile, .cshrc, and .cshrc_aliases file so we could all use them and then upload them to each server on which we administer accounts. We've always used ksh as a default so I'm not sure why he had us put a .cshrc file as I believe this pertains to c shell but when i would edit this file it would definitely reflect the change so I just rolled with it.

Now I have to use bash and I just want to get a few tweaks implemented from .cshrc but the syntax appears wrong. For example, in my .cshrc I have one of many if/then statements:
Code:
echo $host
if ( $host == 'a.a.a.a.') then
setenv env 'development';

if ( $host == 'b.b.b.b') then
setenv env 'production';

where a.a.a.a and b.b.b.b represent hostnames in our company. I want to login to a devlopment, production, or other environment server and have my prompt reflect that I am in the respective environment. I noticed that in .cshrc the setenv seems to be the equivalent of export in .bashrc but I tried replacing all %s/setenv/export/g and I still received an error when sourcing my .bashrc:
Code:
-bash: export: `1': not a valid identifier
-bash: export: `.:<company_defined_paths_omitted>:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:': not a valid identifier
-bash: export: `a.a.a.a': not a valid identifier
-bash: export: `': not a valid identifier

-bash: .bashrc: line 55: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Again - a.a.a.a is a hostname in our company. Is there more to defining those aliases or am I using the export directive incorrectly?
