Full Discussion: declare number variable in csh

First of all, "csh" is a lousy shell for writing scripts. That being said:

Code:
set i="1" HYP_ROOT="/tmp"
while ( $i < 5 )
  echo "i is $i"
  set data_file=$HYP_ROOT/import/efcextr$i.txt
  echo "$data_file"
  set i=`expr $i + 1`
end

You're better off with ksh (or bash, etc.)
