thx guys! i will try them out!

---------- Post updated at 05:18 AM ---------- Previous update was at 02:05 AM ----------

Code:
#!/bash/csh -f

foreach file ($argv/*)
  
  echo $file |grep -q "\.htm"     
  if($status == 0) then
  ./aa1 $file
  endif
  
end

ok guys i tried this, and it worked. but it works only for "argv" and argv is a argument, a directory i pass to the script.
how can i go through other directories inside the "argv" ?
like, if i call the the script,
script1 /home
i want it to check also all the folders in /home. isn't it supposed to do so with "-r" ?
