Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Getting foreach to read a parameter with blank space Post 302627589 by agama on Friday 20th of April 2012 11:21:21 PM

According to the csh man page (csh -- C Shell, a shell (command interpreter) with C-like syntax) the syntax should be:

Code:
foreach file (${*:q})

which will properly handle parameters with spaces. You are always at the mercy of the person entering the command, inasmuch as they must properly quote the parameters, but when quoted correctly on the command line this should work.

I haven't coded in csh since the early 90s, and have forgotten most of it, so this is based purely on a quick peek at the man page and one small test.
