Accessing a field in csh

Question

This piece of code:

foreach mod ("`lsmod`")
   echo $mod
end

outputs each line of lsmod. How can I access the first field, i.e. Module, from each line?

Is there any IDE forcsh or extension for vs code where I can debug csh code?

Parentheses splits line with any type of delimiter or only space? – Jul 13 '19 at 16:53

An unquoted variable will be split on any kind of whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines), but multiple newlines will not be collapsed into a single separator. – Jul 13 '19 at 17:04
