    Bash\/Tcsh Comparison Table<\/h2>\nThe table below shows bash commands and their equivalents in tcsh along with the tools that I wrote to create it.\n\nI put it together because I sometimes have to switch between shells and needed a handy reference. It was built up over time by as I came across tidbits that I wanted to remember.\n\nIn some cases there are different ways of doing the same thing so I simply chose my preferred approach (such as [[]] expressions rather than [] in the if statements).\n\nI hope that you find it useful.\n
