I have a csh script that is driving me nuts - very simple:
#!/bin/csh -f
# accept one or three args
if ($#argv == 1) then
set start = 0
set finish = 16
set cmd = $argv[1]
else if ($#argv == 3) then
set start = $argv[1]
set finish = $argv[2]
set cmd = $argv[3]
else
echo "Error Usage - 1 or 3 arguments"
exit 1
endif
echo "start: $start finish: $finish cmd: $cmd :"
If I invoke the script with:
./foo.sh 1 2 3
I get:
start: 1 finish: 2 cmd: 3 :
I thought that you could pass in a string if you double quoted is -
but if I do this:
./foo.sh 1 2 "foo bar baz"
I get:
start: 1 finish: 2 cmd: foo :
It seems to truncate off the first word in the string for argv[3].
Tried single quotes, no change.
Any ideas? Doesn't have to be csh, but there is a bunch of legacy
stuff underneath this if block that I don't wanna re-write.
