This is why it is crucial that you always start a thread in this forum by explaining the environment you're using. You might note that I explicitly stated the requirements for running the code I suggested:
Quote:
This was written and tested using a Korn shell and also tested with bash. It should work with any shell that uses Bourne shell syntax and performs the parameter expansions required by the POSIX standards.
The csh shell does not use Bourne shell syntax and does not perform any of the parameter expansions required by the POSIX standards. Therefore, you should have expected that it might not work unless you used a shell that met the requirements I specified. But, if you had stored my suggestion in a file and used csh to run that file, it should have given you syntax errors running that script; it should not have closed your window.

I am sorry that I wasted your time by trying to help you with a script that should have worked perfectly for you if you had saved it into a file and then run it with ksh or bash instead of csh.
