Oh good point. I think people on our system are only using modules with bash and maybe zsh, but I should wrap it. Any idea if I can put something in the module file to undo setting the environment variable when someone runs “ml unload”?

This shows me that the module load must outputting a string to bash that is only setting the first line of the file to the variable FOO, then the subsequent file lines are getting dropped right to bash to evaluate. >>> >>> Does anyone have ideas on how I can set a multiline variable from the contents of a file? >>> >>> (Some keywords for future searchability in the archives: multiline, multi-line, newline) >>> >>> Byron >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Modules-interest mailing list >> Mod...@li... >> https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/modules-interest >> > > -- > -------------------------------------------------------- > The views and opinions expressed above are strictly > those of the author(s).
