I am sourcing a file in a bash terminal that needs to export some environment varibles.
Example:
source linux_x86.env
the env file looks kinda like this:
export ARCH=/home/user/project/linux_x86
I have a bunch of different architectures to compile for and I want be able to do something like this:
export ARCH=/home/user/project/`basename $0 .env`
where basename $0 .env
would give me the basename the env file
bash linux_x86.env
linux_x86
The above will work is a bash script but doesn't seem to work when you source the file.
Is there any way to get the same behavior from source?

Summary: SCRIPT_NAME=$(basename ${BASH_SOURCE[0]})
