I have a switch statement, and I want to have two options performing the same thing. For example, if $opt matches "-fb" or "--fbase", I want to perform the same operation. How can I include various matches in "case" ?
switch ($opt)
case "-T":
set Atpath = $par
set opt_tpath = 1
breaksw
case "-fb":
set Afbase = $par
set opt_fbase = 1
breaksw
case "-fb"|"--fbase":
Are the quotes important, or can I go without
case -fb|--fbase:
Ooops sry i did a mix

Have a look at this
case (Learning the Korn Shell, 2nd Edition)
Yes, does not take it.
Please post your code and the manner it which it misbehaved.
I am referring to csh. Had a look at ksh, they don't mention having multiple matches either.
I get "ERROR: -dsrmax not set" when using
./check-srdist.csh --dsrmax=12
Code as below
set opt_dsrmax = 0
set narg = $#argv
while ($iarg < $narg)
MATH iarg = $iarg + 1
set arg = $argv[$iarg]
set opt = `echo $arg | awk 'BEGIN {FS="="} {print $1}'`
set par = `echo $arg | awk 'BEGIN {FS="="} {print $2}'`
switch ($opt)
case "-d"|"--dsrmax":
set Adsrmax = $par
set opt_dsrmax = 1
breaksw
default:
set Afullnames_list = "$Afullnames_list $arg"
breaksw
endsw
end # while
if ($opt_dsrmax == 0) then
echo "\n ERROR: -dsrmax not set\n"
exit 1
endif

I have started coding using ksh but not bourne shell. I already got the .csh scripts and thought it would be faster to update those first so I can get some results sooner.

Is it possible to do in csh?

Have tried the below and seems to work
case "-d":
case "--dsrmax":
set Adsrmax = $par
set opt_dsrmax = 1
breaksw
