I was trying to define a Csh list where one string item contains square brackets, I escaped them as follows in order not to get "No match" error:
Code:
set LIST = {a,b\[2\],c,d}
foreach ITEM ($LIST)
echo $ITEM
end
In this case foreach gives "No match" error, which makes sense. Using 3 escape characters /// instead of one didn't solve the issue, and neither did using the quotations "".
One of the senior administrators gave me a shell script to modify and it begins as follows:
if ] && ]
{more code follows}
