Do you mean that you want to store that particular value in an env variable? Easy enough. Do what ever you would for a normal variable and then mark the variable as an env variable.
You do this by using 'export'. Like this:
Code:
SCRIPTS_DIR="/ramakrsihna/scripts"; export SCRIPTS_DIR

You can combine the two commands and run 'export SCRIPS_DIR=...' as well.
