Csh - how to combine multiple commands in one line
Hey everyone,
I am working in an environment where the different users can use ksh or csh. My situation is that I need the same result with one single command line.
I am searching for the real path the file is in.
My ksh input and output
Code:
ts2:ts2adm> cd $(dirname $(which sapcontrol)); pwd -P
/sapmnt/TS2/exe/uc/sun_64
My csh input and output
Code:
k11:k11adm 1% cd $(dirname $(which sapcontrol)); pwd -P
Variable syntax
It seems that csh does not support such "fancy" things as combining multiple commands in one line.
I already tried the following calls
Code:
k11:k11adm 46% cd `dirname `which sapcontrol`` ; pwd -P
cd: Too many arguments
k11:k11adm 47% dirname `which sapcontrol`
/usr/sap/K11/SYS/exe/nuc/sun_64
with just two commadns combined it seems to be working.
Can anyone help?

I found a workaround for this. I am currently using
Code:
set temp_wsc = `which sapcontrol`; set temp_wsc = `dirname $temp_wsc`; cd $temp_wsc; pwd -P
This was the best I could whink of.
If anyone has an other idea, I am willing to try everything to make this a little smoother.
Hi,

This is related to one of my previous post but now with a slight difference: I need the "Updated:" to be in one line as well as the "Information:" on one line as well. These are in multiple lines right now as seen below. These can have 2 or more lines that needs to be in one line.

Hi There,
I have a cronjob that executes a small script (few lines) that I am certain can be achieved in a single line.
The functional objective is actually really simple;
cmd var1
The '1' in 'var1' is actually derived from date (day of month) but the snag is when working with 1-9 I... (3 Replies)
I am experimenting with some scripting as a way to learn more about it. I have a simple script that calls two other scripts. Each script echos some stuff to prove it ran and then sets a simple variable and exports it.
I cannot get one of the variables to display back in the main calling script... (2 Replies)

pwd
PWD(1) BSD General Commands Manual PWD(1)NAME
pwd -- return working directory name
SYNOPSIS
pwd [-L | -P]
DESCRIPTION
The pwd utility writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to the standard output.
Some shells may provide a builtin pwd command which is similar or identical to this utility. Consult the builtin(1) manual page.
The options are as follows:
-L Display the logical current working directory.
-P Display the physical current working directory (all symbolic links resolved).
If no options are specified, the -L option is assumed.
ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables used by pwd:
PWD Logical current working directory.
EXIT STATUS
The pwd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
SEE ALSO builtin(1), cd(1), csh(1), sh(1), getcwd(3)STANDARDS
The pwd utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
BUGS
In csh(1) the command dirs is always faster because it is built into that shell. However, it can give a different answer in the rare case
that the current directory or a containing directory was moved after the shell descended into it.
The -L option does not work unless the PWD environment variable is exported by the shell.
