Hi.

I do believe, after looking at this that I am a confirmed C-Shell disliker (previously I was just an unconfirmed C-Shell disliker!).

But perhaps you can incorporate a little bit of normality in you csh script:

Code:
#!/bin/csh
set LIST="find orion/ic -path *arg*"
ksh << !
$LIST
!
 
 
Output:
orion/ic/blah/11111argZZZ
orion/ic/blah/123argXYZ

Using only csh, I get this:

Code:
#!/bin/csh
set LIST="find orion/ic -path *arg*"
#ksh << !
$LIST
#!
/root/tmp2 # ./Test
find: No match.
