How do I redirect stdin in a Csh script? For example, a simple "cat" command.
Here is the equivalent code in Bourne sh:
#!/bin/sh
exec 9<&0 < /etc/passwd # Input any file here
while read line
do
echo $line...
done
exec 0<&9 9<&-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
It's very easy in Perl:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
while (<>) { print ; }
-----------------------------------------------------------------
But I'm stumped in Csh. For example, this doesn't work (the Csh converts
newlines to spaces on input -AND- foreach is space-delimited):
#!/bin/csh
foreach line (`cat /etc/passwd`)
echo $line...
end
