You said C shell, and you really mean csh or tcsh?
C shell is nasty. It does history substiution even within ' ' and even if the shell is non-interactive or in scripts.
Within ' ' the only safe escape of the ! is '\!' (like the ' to be escaped as '\'').
Further, C shell does not take a multiline string. Try to put a \ at the end of each line.
Learn the standard shell, and recode your scripts! It is straight forward; the standard shell can do everything the C shell can.
