hello, I've got a problem with syntax in a tcsh script. If I type this in a tcsh shell: date -v-7d "+[%d/%m/%Y:%H:%M:%S]" It returns this: [05/08/2004:04:08:48] but when I use it in a script like this: #!/bin/tcsh set Log = ` date -v-7d "+[%d/%m/%Y:%H:%M:%S] ` echo $Log it returns an error because of the [ and ]. If I remove either one of them it runs ok. How do I get the output of the script the same as in the command line? Thanks Barno
