Troubles with cshell

[Alex Lavrov.]

Thanx, the issue with starting letter is solved :)

Now I'm looking for regexp that beside cheking that word starts with a letter, will check that the other symbols are only letters or numbers.

All the stuff I try, just don't work in csh ... (tcsh).


thanx in advance.

Hi,

to come to your request

Now I'm looking for regexp that beside cheking that word starts with a letter, will check that the other symbols are only letters or numbers.

Starting with my switch/case but exiting/breaking in
default:

you can continue in stripping all legal chars and looking at the rest (needs tcsh):

set ok=`echo $field_1 | tr -d '[:lower:][:upper:][0-9]'`
if ($%ok) then
echo $field_1 contains $%ok illegal chars
exit 1
endif
