I edited my .bash_profile with a new line, after i did source .bash_profile some commands does not work like:
open (so i can´t modify the wrong lines in the .bash_profile file)
ls
mkdir
but some like
cd
pwd
DOES work
here is an example of my terminal:
MBP-de-Rodrigo:~ rodrigoleon$ open .bash_profile
-bash: open: command not found

You set an invalid PATH variable. Don't replace the built-in search path; add to it instead. For example:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
Some commands are built into the shell itself. Those will work. If you have scrambled your path, then all of the external command will be broken.
What line did you add anyway?
When editing the shell config files, you should always keep at least one Terminal window open. Test the new configuration in a new Terminal window. That way, if you scramble the files, you can still fix it with your functional window.
/usr/bin/open .bash_profile
to get you back into your text editor.
it should be
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
with each path added to PATH separated by a colon :
AND NO SPACES (unless the path itself has a space, then you need to protect those spaces with quotes) especially around the = you do not want spaces.
open command does´not found in bash
