Thanks for the input gentlemen,

Interesting to that the question was posted by G(rant) and then answered =
by G(ary), G(arrett) and G(iorgos)! (what are the odds!).

Anywho, I am busily converting the script to perl as per the =
suggestions. I use tcsh rarely, had I of known the quirks I woul shave =
done it in perl from the beguining.

As for Garrett's case method, it didnt work. Created a "case: Too many =
arguments." error. Perhaps because it itself is nested in a 'foreach' =
statement.

Thanks again guys,

-Grant

  You are right on the money from my experience, Garrett. BillJoy
  got most things right, but the csh is a dead loser. (I was
  forced to xlate my /bin/sh code into csh for years! Foo!=20
  Steve Borne wins this one.
