CSH Help -- I don't get it ...

[Richard Caloggero]

     What am I doing wrong?
I think the following script should print
'yes' three times.

-----
#!/bin/csh
set x=stuff_and_more
echo try one:
if "$x" =~ "stuff*" echo yes

echo try two:
alias x 'if "$x" =~ "stuff*" echo yes'
x

echo try three:
alias x 'if "$x" =~ "stuff"* echo yes'
x

----------


    It only prints 'yes' once -- on try three.
I'm sure it has something to do with my
poor understanding of csh's various quoting conventions.
