nslookup script but having syntax issues
Hi All
i am creating a script to perform a nslookup on a specified host (so in otherwords it will be: zong(script name) 172.x.x.10(ip adress). i am scripting in tcsh. unfortunately i think i am doing something wrong as it keeps giving me syntax error. can someone help?


Code:
@ num=1
set arg='ping 172.x.x.$num'
while ($num  < 10)
    if (  "$arg" = "172.x.x.$num") then
    if ("`nslookup 172.x.x.$num | grep find`" != "")  echo "172.x.x.$num"
    endif
   @ num++
 end

thank you

Brian
