Newline missing in csh

Newline missing in csh

[Gluszczak, Glenn]

cat "/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/International/sLanguage" works fine in bash
but if I switch to csh I fail to get a newline when reading the registry.

$ cat -v "/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/International/sLanguage"
ENU^@
$ csh
$ cat -v "/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/International/sLanguage"
ENU^@$

In bash, 'set PS1=x' and try again.  Looks like it's just a side
effect of your prompt settings.

It's not that bash is working "fine", but that your bash prompt is
adding a newline that's not part of the data in the file you're
reading.  And your expectation that the added newline makes it the
correct behavior is flawed.

cat -v "/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/International/sLanguage" | od -t x1

I'd rather do this to get the real contents (and not have cat -v add something):

od -t x1c "/proc/registry/HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control
Panel/International/sLanguage"

Kind regards
