Hello, I wrote a C-shell script to automate the task as follows:
=======================================================================
#
# Shell script for the plot3d for field files.
#
# Usage: p3d <filename> [parameters for plot3d]
#
set TEMP=/tmp/z
if (-e $TEMP) \rm $TEMP
chkf -b -d $argv[1] > $TEMP
plot3d z=$TEMP -P $argv[2-] | sunplot
if (-e $TEMP) \rm $TEMP
exit
=======================================================================
This works fine unless I use command line arguments of strings which
contain space, e.g.,
(1) p3d fname tl="This_is_wrong" ---> OK
(2) p3d fname tl="This is wrong" ---> Failed
This means that in the case of (1) $argv[2] is considered as tl="This_is_wrong"
but in (2) $argv[2] becomes tl="This.
How can I pass the space containing arguments? Does anybody out there
have solution for this?
Regards,
