Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Everyone,
I'm relatively new to using c shell and I'm trying to understand a script for data processing. In it they use the set command:

E.g. one such line:
set scan = 'cat /home/wera/etc/.scan'

When I try to test the command myself with my own files:
set scan = 'cat /home/mweather/Test'
and then use:
echo $scan
it produces:
cat /home/mweather/Test

What I was hoping it would do is display the contents of the file Hello:
Hello, this is a test

Is it because I'm using tcsh and the script I am trying to understand is using csh?

Any advice on why the cat command doesn't work within the set command would be appreciated, thank you!

Ok so I just figured it out - I will leave this post up just in case anyone wants the answer - I was using the apostrophe ' instead of ` . That simple!

try

Code:

set scan = `cat /home/wera/etc/.scan`
