I am needing to create a variable(changing) and assign it a value(changing) ... I am using C-Shell..

Example:

foreach account in ($Accountlist)

Hi.

Writing it does not work does not help us help you. Post the error messages(s).

You're an old hand here, so you know that it's best to use CODE tags around code and data. You'll be inviting more responses if you do that.

Here is an example that uses underscores in names with a foreach:
Code:
#!/bin/csh

# @(#) s1       Demonstrate foreach.

# Infrastructure details, environment, commands for forum posts. 
# Uncomment export / setenv command to run script as external user.
# export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
# setenv PATH "/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
echo
setenv LC_ALL C ; setenv LANG C
echo "Environment: LC_ALL = $LC_ALL, LANG = $LANG"
echo "(Versions displayed with local utility version)"
sh -c "version >/dev/null 2>&1" && version "=o" csh
echo

set my_list = ( the hole in the wall gang )

echo $my_list

foreach item ( $my_list )
        echo $item
end

prodiucing:
Code:
$ ./s1

Environment: LC_ALL = C, LANG = C
(Versions displayed with local utility version)
OS, ker|rel, machine: SunOS, 5.10, i86pc
csh Aug 8 2006 (SunOS 5.10)

the hole in the wall gang

As you probably have seen in your searches here at unix.com, the use of csh / tcsh for scripting is discouraged for a number of reasons. If you can, use the Bourne shell family for scripting: sh, bash, ksh, zsh.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

My requirement is for C-shell and hoe people would have understood the issue clearly. it is about populating a variable with various string values during the execution.

Hi Shafi
Its not clear what exactly you are trying to ask because if i had understood you correctly, the answer which you are looking for is present in the example which you provided, the set command.

However, if the set command which you have shown is throwing error, the only reason i could think of is the variable "account_pass" did not have any initial value, and hence it fails.

If this is not what you are looking for, please show us the error that you have encountered.


Thanks
Guru.
