csh shell script 'set' argument limit?
Hi ,

I have a script that is causing a problem that led me to think if there is a limit to the number of arguments for 'set' command in csh shell script.
Here is my script:
Code:
#!/bin/csh -f

set top = design_top
#1
set v_mbist =  (  sim_mbist/*.v )
#2
set v_simlist  = (      -v net/rtl/bridges/*.v \ 
			-v net/rtl/core/*.v \
			-v net/rtl/debug/*.v \
			-v net/rtl/memories/*.v \
		        ...
		        ...#40 plus lines in between
		        ...
 			-v net/design/lcd/rtl/*.v \
 			-v net/design/plcm_core/rtl/*.v )
#3
set mem_list   = ( sim_mem/*.v )

I get past #1, but get this error in #2 above.
Code:
584 integration > ./run 
Too many ('s.
585 integration >

Greatly appreciate if you could suggest any solutions.

Thank you.
