I have some beginner questions concerning BASH and TCSH. I need to know
(and have an example of) how to do the following in each:
1) set a shell variable to a value
2) set a shell variable to a word-list (or an array)
3) reset the positional parameters
4) unset the positional parameters
At present, I am assuming that BASH sysntax would be the same as Bourne
shell syntax (where applicable) and that TCSH wyntax would be the same
as C shell syntax (where applicable) but I would like to know for certain!
BTW, I know what BASH stands for but what does TCSH stand for?
To my knowledge - Bourne, Korn, and C Shell examples for the above would be:
sh ksh csh
------------------- ---------------------- --------------------------
1) name=value name=value set name=value
typeset name=value
2) N/A set -A name el1 el2 ... set name=( el1 el2 ... )
3) set -- p1 p2 ... set -- p1 p2 ... set argv=( p1 p2 ... )
4) shift $# unset -- set argv=()
shift $#
If there is a "more accepted" way to do any of these for sh, ksh, and csh
(or if any of what I have above is incorrect) please let me know!
