how to source a csh script in bash to set the environment [closed]

by

In your ~/.bashrc (or the first of ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile that exists) source this script using something like . ~/bin/sourcecsh:

#!/bin/bash
# This should be sourced rather than executed
while read cmd var val
do
    if [[ $cmd == "setenv" ]]
    then
        eval "export $var=$val"
    fi
done < ~/.cshrc

This version eliminates the evil eval:

#!/bin/bash
# This should be sourced rather than executed
# yes, it will be sourcing within sourcing - what so(u)rcery!
source /dev/stdin < \
<(
    while read cmd var val
    do
        if [[ $cmd == "setenv" ]]
        then
             echo "export $var=$val"
        fi
    done < cshrc
)

Edit:

Without sourcing stdin:

while read cmd var val
do
    if [[ $cmd == "setenv" ]]
    then
        declare -x "$var=$val"
    fi
done < cshrc
