Herein lies the problem: I have a program that accepts complete
commands from a file and executes them. It works perfectly. And
now I'd just like to set an environment variable while each
command runs... But alas no, the only way to do that is with
runProcess, which expects me to parse the command line first.
(Before anybody remarks that "words" will do this, consider the
"echo" command, which treats whitespace meaningfully.)
env FOO=bar mycommand ...
Does that work for Windows?
Only if on of the unix-simulation environments is installed. I
wouldn't want to bet on such things working reliably cross-platform
anyway; even if it works something like the same way, the variable
names are usually different.
