how do i do this?

set v1='x';

if $(v1)='x' then

set v2='y';

end if

is it possible?

Hi,

You are almost there, just don't expand the variable

set v1='x'; if v1 ='x' then set v2='y';end if

Hope that helps.

Or, expand the variable but surround it with quotes:

if '$(v1)' = 'x' then

thank you,

just to understand, in general what is the difference between writing $(v1) and v1 ?
