- Subject: problems with script
I created the following script:
#!/bin/tcsh
#csh script to prepend standard input to file argument
#Version 1
#name temp file
set tf = /tmp/ppd.$$
#get argument name
set dest = $argv[1]
#copy standard input, $dest to $tf
cat - $dest > $tf
#replace original file
mv $tf $dest
However, when I run the script in the tcsh with the
following command line:
(date; du ~) | ./ppd.txt ~/disk_storage&
I get a syntax error (set: Syntax Error).
I posted this script on an online Linux forum. A
member copied it into vi, and it worked fine. Is
there something in Cygwin that I need to do? I have
written #!/bin/tcsh at the top, and I haved used set
before in tcsh.
