Tools tsch, error setting a variable

Hi,
my code is:
------------------------------
set r=`ls -L $source_dir/*.snvf`
echo AAA
------------------------------

If does file does not exists I got on the screen

ls: No match.
AAA

How can I remove the "ls: No match." from being printed out

Regards,
Ziv

Hi.

Tcsh is a really horrible shell. Can't you use a "proper" shell?!

I've googled, experimented and guessed, and can't find a solution.

So I give you this:

Code:
set p=`ksh -c "ls -L $source_dir/*.snvf 2>/dev/null"`

(or bash -c ...)
