Re^4: Need help to convert short c shell script to perl

You're assuming sh syntax, whereas the Op's code is csh syntax,

Actually not assuming. I just defaulted to what I run into the most myself. Hardly ever touch CSH these days. I was more interested in demonstrating a concept than anything else.

I have tried to write a ksh to perl convertor RFC: UNIX shell to Perl converter, and csh has simpler syntax (for a parser, not a user). I gave up because I found most shell scripts are written very badly, and bad shell scripts converted into really bad perl.	[reply]
