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.

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!
