Multiple commands in csh one liner if

[paragpdoke]

Hello All.
I hope I am asking this question in the right section of the site.

I'm working on Solaris 10 and the shell is csh. My intent is to perform 2 tasks if a condition is not satisfied. I'm using the one liner syntax for if (one liner because I need to use this as an alias later). However, my observation is that this simply does not work:

if ( 0 != 1 ) (echo Message1; echo Message2;)

All I see is:

(: Command not found

Can anyone kindly help me identify my mistake and get it to echo those 2 messages?

Thanks in advance,
Parag Doke

I tried: (in bash)

if [ "0" != "1" ]; then (echo $mess1; echo $mess2); fi

where mess1|2 are some variables.

Hello Tin.
Thank you for your reply. However, I was looking for a csh solution (since I want to attempt this via an alias).

Thanks in advance!
