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,

sed '1,7w file1; 8,$w file2' fileA
I get only one file named file1 plus all the characters following file1. If I try to use curly... (1 Reply)
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)

basename
BASENAME(1) BSD General Commands Manual BASENAME(1)NAME
basename, dirname -- return filename or directory portion of pathname
SYNOPSIS
basename string [suffix]
basename [-a] [-s suffix] string [...]
dirname string [...]
DESCRIPTION
The basename utility deletes any prefix ending with the last slash '/' character present in string (after first stripping trailing slashes),
and a suffix, if given. The suffix is not stripped if it is identical to the remaining characters in string. The resulting filename is
written to the standard output. A non-existent suffix is ignored. If -a is specified, then every argument is treated as a string as if
basename were invoked with just one argument. If -s is specified, then the suffix is taken as its argument, and all other arguments are
treated as a string.
The dirname utility deletes the filename portion, beginning with the last slash '/' character to the end of string (after first stripping
trailing slashes), and writes the result to the standard output.
EXIT STATUS
The basename and dirname utilities exit 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
The following line sets the shell variable FOO to /usr/bin.
FOO=`dirname /usr/bin/trail`
SEE ALSO csh(1), sh(1), basename(3), dirname(3)STANDARDS
The basename and dirname utilities are expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.
