I am trying to use this alias in my root .cshrc file:
grep $1 /some/file
but .cshrc _refuses_ to expand $1 as a proper variable (in this case, the first argument to the alias...)
I _think_ it's because $1 is being interpreted as a argument to csh _itself_ when it runs .cshrc ... but maybe I'm wrong.
Anyway, how to make it work ?
Thanks.
