HOW to run a bash-code in a c-shell script ??
Is there a way to run some code in a C-shell script by different shell, like bash?

I have that situation.
I have prepared and perfectly workable bash-skript that now I have to execute under C-shell script, divide it on steps and without creating a new files (with the bash-code parts.)

For example:
Code:
> cat c.sh
#!/bin/csh -f
echo " -- starting $0 --"
echo " .. before executing bash-code : "

/bin/bash/ -e <<END
  pair=123-456
      aRID=${pair%-*}
      iRID=${pair#*-}
  echo " aRID=$aRID; iRID=$iRID "
END

echo " -- exiting the $0 -- "
> ll c.sh
-rwxrwxrwx   1 abc1929  grsome       218 Feb  4 17:10 c.sh*
> c.sh
 -- starting ./c.sh --
 .. before executing bash-code :
pair: Undefined variable
>

Even with so simple statement it is already problems.
I need to execute much more advance and complicated processing!

I guess, the C-shell checking the syntax during the entering bash-code line in order to catch the 'END' line.
Maybe it is possible to disable it (the C-shell checking) and enable it after?

The option to have the code in single quotes is not usefull, too!
By that I would need to escape much: that will hightmаре!

Rewrite the bash script in c-shel - havy and long task!

I see only one option: brake the bash script on bansh of small files and process communication between them through env-variable or temporary files.

Disgusting solution!

Is there any other way?

Thank you!

SYNOPSIS

       surfraw-update-path [-add] [-remove] [-check] [-sys] [-all] [-help] [-shell=SHELL]

DESCRIPTION

       surfraw-update-path adds the surfraw elvi directory (/usr/lib/surfraw) to your PATH in your shell's config file.

       Currently it supports bash, sh, csh, tcsh, ash, dash, ksh, pdksh, zsh, rc, and es

       Don't forget to login again or source your login files for it to take effect.

       -check

       -add
	   Adds the surfraw config code.

       -remove
	   Removes the surfraw config code

       -sys
	   Updates the system-wide shell config instead of the user.  Must be done as root.

       -shell=SHELL

       SHELL
	   Used to determine which shell to configure, if -shell is not given.
