The manpage for the fedora csh describes the usage of goto, but it does not work. Anyone with insight on this?
If you CAN make it work, please provide a skeleton of the script where the label is visible and the goto statement is visible :)
Thanx.

what does 'does not work' mean? What have you tried so far? It's straight forward, I think.
#!/bin/csh
label: printf "foo" sleep 1 goto label

Hi Joachim
I ran your the script used by Michael Welle, but changes #!/bin/csh to #!/bin/tcsh
and it displayes the same problem:
Cat /tmp/test-csh-goto #/bin/tcsh label: printf "foo" sleep 1 goto label
$ /tmp/test-csh-goto foo /tmp/test-csh-goto[6]: goto: not found [No such file or directory]

Is that what is actually in your file? ! seems to be missing.
You may want to try with a first line of
#!/bin/csh -f
It is obviously an issue with either your system or your user account. Try another user.

I already replied to Gordon that I am updating to current version.
Hello,
just a short addition to my previous post.

I already told him the ! was missing from his file.....and he seems to have ignored that. Hope he listens better a second time.
And, I confirmed that is the error you get with ksh as your running shell. With sh (bash) as your running shell you get a different message when you forget the !.
[egreshko@meimei tmp]$ ./test-csh-goto ./test-csh-goto: line 2: label:: command not found foo./test-csh-goto: line 5: goto: command not found
Good catch with ksh. I'd forgotten about that shell. :-)

Bingo. THAT was my oversight.

This is what "Does Not Work" mean: Running your example: $ /tmp/test-csh-goto foo /tmp/test-csh-goto[21]: goto: not found [No such file or directory]

What does "which goto" say?

Dude!!!! goto is a built-in!!!!!

Yes, it should be, but the question is still valid. You *should* get this response:
$ which goto goto: shell built-in command.
If that's not the response you get, the result might be informative.
You seem to be scolding/yelling at Patrick, which would be rude. Just a tip: we're all here to help each other, and we should all make an effort to be pleasant.

FWIW, you only get that result if the shell you are running is csh.
egreshko@meimei ~]$ echo $0 /bin/bash
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ which goto /usr/bin/which: no goto in (/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/home/egreshko/bin)
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ csh [egreshko@meimei ~]$ echo $0 csh
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ which goto goto: shell built-in command.

well, you seem to be an experienced user, so I might be wrong and I apologize in advance. This error message:
/tmp/test-csh-goto[21]: goto: not found [No such file or directory]
it looks like an error message thrown by ksh and not by csh. So if you had run my script with the shebang line #!/bin/csh you might want to check if /bin/csh is really a csh on your system.
Good luck hmw
