string comparison
Hello experts,
(tcsh shell) Quite new to shell scripting... I have got a file with a single word on each line. Want to be able to make a comparison such that i can read pairs of words that are ROT13 to each other. Also, i would like to print the pairs to another file. Any help appreciated.... Thanks in advance !

Development to my previous post !!
What i did find out was that the error mesg - 'too many arguments' was due to having numbers in the file as well, instead of just characters ! the code does not work with numbers in the file. It only works for files with characters only. Sorry should have mentioned earlier, got numbers in some of my files too !!! Can you help me out here. I am trying as well. Thanks
