How to parse a pathname in csh?
I am wondering if there's an easy way to extract individual directories from a pathname in a csh script. For example, if I have a shell variable such as
 set datadirlist = /space/quimby/1

can I get 'space', 'quimby', and '1' and assign it individually to another variable?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Sam
