Few people here are good with csh, me included. There are good reasons to avoid it.
However, you can get the answer with awk. Try gawk or nawk if you have them.
Code:
head -1 file | awk -F'*' '{print $NF -1 }'
* where * -- the tab key

Hi,
I need to write a script which will have a text string as a input and the output should find out the number in the text string and add one to it.
Eg:
Input => asfdosainovih1234lnsiohn
Output => 1235
All the numbers in the text will be together and only one time in the line.

Hi
I want to use awk to match where field 3 contains a number within string - then print the line and just the number as a new field.
The source file is pipe delimited and looks something like

ucblinks
ucblinks(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands ucblinks(1B)NAME
ucblinks - adds /dev entries to give SunOS 4.x compatible names to SunOS 5.x devices
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/ucblinks [-e rulebase] [-r rootdir]
DESCRIPTION
ucblinks creates symbolic links under the /dev directory for devices whose SunOS 5.x names differ from their SunOS 4.x names. Where possi-
ble, these symbolic links point to the device's SunOS 5.x name rather than to the actual /devices entry.
ucblinks does not remove unneeded compatibility links; these must be removed by hand.
ucblinks should be called each time the system is reconfiguration-booted, after any new SunOS 5.x links that are needed have been created,
since the reconfiguration may have resulted in more compatibility names being needed.
In releases prior to SunOS 5.4, ucblinks used a nawk rule-base to construct the SunOS 4.x compatible names. ucblinks no longer uses nawk
for the default operation, although nawk rule-bases can still be specifed with the -e option. The nawk rule-base equivalent to the SunOS
5.4 default operation can be found in /usr/ucblib/ucblinks.awk.
OPTIONS -e rulebase Specify rulebase as the file containing nawk(1) pattern-action statements.
-r rootdir Specify rootdir as the directory under which dev and devices will be found, rather than the standard root directory /.
