alias s2st="ps -A | grep -E "a|b"" works for bash.

Then I tried to convert it for csh:

But csh does quoting so different, I couldn't coupe with...

In bash, that should be:

alias s2st='ps -A | grep -E "a|b"'

(alias s2st="ps -A | grep -E "a|b"" would not work in bash, as the second " would close the first " so the second | would not be quoted).

In csh

alias s2st 'ps -A | grep -E "a|b"'

Strong quotes in both bash and csh are '...'. They are less strong in csh though where ! and newline (and backslash when preceding those) are still special.

In TCL, strong quotes are ... with the added benefit that and can occur within them as long as they are matched.

  For clarity, the question and answer would benefit from showing a bit more context around how you use the shell and tcl. At the moment, the tcl bit seems to be quite important even though it's barely mentioned in the question.

In bash, that should be:

alias s2st='ps -A | grep -E "a|b"'

(alias s2st="ps -A | grep -E "a|b"" would not work in bash, as the second " would close the first " so the second | would not be quoted).

In csh

alias s2st 'ps -A | grep -E "a|b"'

Strong quotes in both bash and csh are '...'. They are less strong in csh though where ! and newline (and backslash when preceding those) are still special.

In TCL, strong quotes are ... with the added benefit that and can occur within them as long as they are matched.
