csh list of commands like ksh { list; }

Question

Hi,

In bourne-compatible shells, the { list; } syntax causes the complete list of commands to be read by the shell before executing it, without opening a new shell. Is there anything similar for the csh?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I think csh only has parentheses. But they create a subshell (in addition to grouping commands) just like they do in Bourne-style shells.

Answer 2

As Dennis says, no direct equivalent. 'eval' might be woth looking at - depends what you need to do.
