when I run from bash shell the command:
bash
for i in 1 2 3 ; do echo $i ; done
1
2
3
but when I switch to tcsh and want to run:
tcsh
bash -c for i in 1 2 3 ; do echo $i ; done
i: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
i: -c: line 1: `for'
i: Undefined variable.
please advice why I get errors ( I run the for loop from bash -c its the same ?
and what I need to fix ?
Answer
You'll need to quote it:
bash -c 'for i in 1 2 3 ; do echo $i ; done'
In your example, the only command bash is running is "for" on its own.
