Escaping double quotes with tcsh alias

Question

I\'m trying to run the following commands:

replace -x \"must \" A2input.txt
replace -x \" a\" -f -s ## A2input.txt
replace -x to -s ## -a A2input.txt
replace         


        

Answer 1

If you can't get an alias to work, just write a short shell script, chmod +x, and put it somewhere in your $PATH (like $HOME/bin):

#!/bin/tcsh
replace -x "must" ...

I don't have any experience with tcsh, but with bash you do it like any of these:

alias t='echo "hello  world"'     # using single quotes to enclose entire string
alias t=echo\ \"hello\ \ world\"  # escape " and 
alias t="echo \"hello  world\""   # double-quote + escape inner double quotes

Maybe something similar will work in tcsh?
