Within Bourne shell it is possible to nest command subsitution,
like so:
% /bin/sh
$ echo `echo \`echo stuff\``
stuff
This has idiom has its uses. I can't come up with similar
Csh syntax that works. Here's what Csh says when handed
the same command line as above:
% echo `echo \`echo stuff\``
Unmatched `.
Is there any way to do this in Csh? If it matters, I'm running
SR10.3 on an Apollo DN4500, using either the SYSV or BSD version
of Csh.
If this is a frequently asked/trivial question, please don't
post the answer, just send me e-mail.
Thanks in advance!
