title: Set Enviroment Variable that contains two paths interelated paths
body: <p>I am trying to create a custom environment variable that uses python to execute a py file. </p>
  
  <p>Here is an example of what I have</p>
  
  <pre><code>export VAR=${VAR}:"/usr/bin/python2.7 /home/user/file"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I use the variable I get the output:</p>
  
  <p>bash: :/usr/bin/python2.7: No such file or directory</p>
  
  <p>If I echo the variable I get the output: </p>
  
  <p>/usr/bin/python2.7 /home/user/file</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>Trying "$VAR" gives me the output</p>
  
  <p>bash: :/usr/bin/python2.7 /home/user/file: No such file or directory</p>
  
  <p>If I run just this /usr/bin/python2.7 /home/user/file it works</p>
