Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers arguments in sourcing file Post 54690 by GSalisbury on Friday 20th of August 2004 03:57:05 PM

In csh when you source another script it's running in your current context.
That's why source xxx arg doesn't get you what you want.
You'd have to either do:
set argv=( "blah1" "blah2"...)
then
source xxx (it would then 'see' the $1)
or
set abc="blah..."
then
source xxx (and it would have to access $abc)
