Hello,
I've been trying to include the quote () characters and spaces into a tcsh script
variable; for already two days I've been trying various ways doing this to no avail!
I'm about to think that it is impossible.
For example:
#!/bin/tcsh
set flag=-f t

When I use
set flag='-f t '
When I echo this out, I get what you are wanting...
can you show us how you are using this, to get the weird behavior?
Thanks

Any solutions for this problem with quotes and spaces in tcsh script?
Or is tcsh not suitable for this kind of things?
Ugh, the latter. :-) /bin/sh handles nested quoting right, but crunches the
space together:
% foo=-f \t \
% echo $foo
-f t
% foo='-f t '
% echo
ok ok... I noticed one thing while playing with this...
the script hello.sh
#!/bin/tcsh -f
set JUNK='-f t '
echo ${JUNK}
echo ${JUNK}
The first echo prints it -f t
and the second -f t
Can you use it with the double quotes around it?
later

Actually it doesn't. You get this result because sh splits variables
on $IFS before passing the result to a command, so what echo gets is
argv[1]=-f \t
argv[2]=\
I come to the conclusion that there's no intuitive solution in a
tcsh script for
set foo='-f a '

Another odd behaviour occurs when I say:
set foo=abc
which tcsh reduces to a b c, despite the quotes.
This works for me (-CURRENT).
$ tcsh
dan: {3001} set foo=abc
dan: {3002} set | grep foo
_ set foo=a
