Bug foreach loop using a "*" for args

have a script that copies a file to a bunch of hosts. works great with a single file. How do I make it copy all files in a source directory? or a *txt pattern, or anything using a * ???

name of script: cp2all
#!/bin/csh
foreach host ( host1 host2 host3 host4 host5 host6 host7)
rcp $argv[1] $host\:$argv[2]
end


i usually run the script to copy a single file like this
./cp2all test1.txt /home/ajp
this will copy test1.txt to /home/ajp on all the hosts listed in foreach.

I want to copy all files in a directory, but using * doesnt seem to work. How would I do this??

Thank you as always!!

continue(1T)						       Tcl Built-In Commands						      continue(1T)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME
continue - Skip to the next iteration of a loop SYNOPSIS
continue _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
This command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command such as for or foreach or while. It returns a TCL_CONTINUE code, which causes a continue exception to occur. The exception causes the current script to be aborted out to the innermost containing loop command, which then continues with the next iteration of the loop. Catch exceptions are also handled in a few other situations, such as the catch command and the outermost scripts of procedure bodies. EXAMPLE
Print a line for each of the integers from 0 to 10 except 5: for {set x 0} {$x<10} {incr x} { if {$x == 5} { continue } puts "x is $x" } SEE ALSO
break(1T), for(1T), foreach(1T), return(1T), while(1T) KEYWORDS
