Talk:C Shell Scripting

Purpose
There are not many C shell scripting books out there. The O'Reilly's book doesn't cover scripting very well. So, figured why not start one here. I use C shell for scripting at work and its a really easy language compared with some contemporaries like Perl. The book will cover both CSH and TCSH. I am planning a hybrid between user guide, reference guide and cookbook. --MarsRover (talk) 01:09, 7 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Its been over ten years since I started this book and I don't plan on finishing it. Sort of silly idea to write any write any significant program in csh and writing a book explaining how to do this is even sillier. The genesis of this book was my dislike of bash using ALGOL keywords and square brackets for expressions. Yeah, not really a valid reason to use csh considering its severe drawbacks. After almost a decade developing in bash and debugging bash scripts if I saw you writing a production shell script in csh that I had to maintain I would give you the stare of doom. --MarsRover (discuss • contribs) 06:25, 30 March 2021 (UTC)
