using multiple arguments in my script

hi all

i am creating a script to ping hosts and then do a nslookup.
So what needs to happen is that i type the script name with an argument eg:
Code:
zong (script name) 172.x.x.x (IP)

at the moment i have got it to take on argument, but idealy i would like it to take more than 1 argument. can you help? here is the script below...

Code:
 if ($# !=1) then 
   echo broken
  exit
 endif

if ("`ping $1 2 | grep alive`" !="") then
  if ("`nslookup $1 | grep find`" !="") echo "$1"
  endif
exit

this script is written in tcsh.

can anyone help please?

regards,

Brian

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
installsieve DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server. OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output. -l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script. -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services. -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since sieve names may not contain a '.'. -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option.. -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>. -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen. -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten. -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user. CMU
