CShell if statement

If I want to compare two string variables in csh how do I correctly implement it. For example I'm checking if on cmdln the $1 == -r do something.
Code:
if($1 == -r) then
   code....

However when I run it I just get an error message "if: Missing file name".

[EDIT: maybe it's something to do with the minus sign?]

Any suggestions?
