Edit Question
Title
Body
I can set an environment variable inside the bash prompt like this: export PS1="[\u@\H/$FOO \W]\$ " The prompt does not change when I change the environment variable: $FOO because the $FOO variable is not interpreted. I can work around it by doing the following, exporting PS1 again. But I would like to be able to do it on one line: [user@server ]$ echo $FOO foo [user@server ]$ export PS1="[$FOO]$ " [foo]$ export FOO=bla [bla]$ Can this be done in one line?
