[svlug] bash scripts - config files with comments?

[Michael Cheselka]

Hello,

He's trying to source the file - like an include.

Something like:

[ryoohki at ryoohki ~]$ cat -vte source_me.sh
# blah blah$
 # blah blah$
$(( 1 + 1 )) # balh blah$
sourceme=test # blah blah$
date # blah blah$
#date$
date # blah blah$
[ryoohki at ryoohki ~]$ . source_me.sh
bash: 2: command not found
Sun Aug 19 23:18:16 PDT 2007
Sun Aug 19 23:18:16 PDT 2007
[ryoohki at ryoohki ~]$ echo $sourceme
test
[ryoohki at ryoohki ~]$

Comments are automatically excluded.  No effort required.
What is happening when you source the file?

Mike
