Script works but doesn't?
Hi everyone I'm new here so and I'm just starting to learn a bit of Solaris and I'm working on repairing 10 year old scripts for our system here at work.

When I execute the commands at my prompt everything go's through smooth. I'm using gedit to edit my code because I'm still getting used to the vi editor. I copy the script from my .sh file and paste it into my xterm and it will paste half the script so I go and get the rest of my script then paste it in there was well. Then it gets to my if statements and works great and everything does what its supposed to but if I try to run the entire script by itself without me manually doing it I get a

if: Expression syntax

I'm a little confused wondering why it runs manually but not all in my script? Is there a limit to how big a script can be? This one is has 121 lines.

Any help would be much appreciated.

No, it's not your problem.

It's possible your interactive shell and shell running scripts are different. It could be better if you give an example.

Oops. I've never used C shell.

Somebody with C-shell experience can help you. I do not know about debug possibilities in this shell (like set -x in sh).

Just a thought - It seems to me in csh the equality operator is "==", not "=".
Code:
if ( $KEY7 == 'Frequency' )

I tried doing the == as well but thank you for trying to help, I've been racking my brain on this for a while.
