cshell reading file line by line
hey all,

I have this code :

Code:
#!/bin/tcsh -f

set line=($<)
while($#line > 0)
echo $line[1]
set line=($<)
end

the usage to run the script would be :

Code:
./file < file2

Is there a way to specify filename in the script itself instead of getting/reading file name from STDIN ?


Using :

Code:
set file=data

instead of :

Code:
set line=($<)

by the way I am aware of this :

I am just learning things...

thanks.
