- I have a question regarding csh. The following alias when executed gave
- and error message "Too many ('s":
-
- alias f3 '( finger xyz@abcd.efg, \
- finger pqr@lmn.edu, \
- finger sdf@sdf.fsd ) | more'
-
- However it worked as expected when I removed the backslashes and typed
- the whole thing on a single line. Any pointers as to why this should
- happen? Am I doing anything wrong?
