Shell Programming and Scripting
Declaring functions in CSH

Hi Tipsy,
I had a similar problem with declaring the functions in csh.
A simple script as below worked well in sh shell
#! /bin/sh
display()
{
echo "Inside display()"
}
echo "calling display()"
display
however when the shell interpreter was changed to "csh" it failed with following error :-
"Badly placed ()'s"
It looks like csh shell scripting doesn't support functions.
I have been searching over the net now for quite sometime for the function syntax in csh but never found one.
Please let me know if anyone finds the solution for the same.
Best Regards,
brendon
