1.1.7: Problem when "sourcing" shell files



I Have a simple problem with setting env variables in a shell and making
them available to my shell.

I Just Have this script (xx.sh)

#!/bin/bash
if [ "a" = "a" ]; then
        export HELLO1=WORLD1
        echo $HELLO1
fi

echo "End"

#### END SCRIPT ######

If I execute it with the "." before the command to make the HELLO1 variable
recognised in my bash session when the script finish. The execution gives
the following error

malves> . xx.sh
bash: /disk2/data/malves/bin/xx.sh: line 9: syntax error: unexpected end of
file


If if execute it without the "."

malves> xx.sh
WORLD1
End

I don't get any problems.


I'am sure that this is a very stupid error how can I solve this.

TIA,

Miguel Alves
