Debian How to loop(Iterate) through List with foreach(csh)
Hey all,,

I know cshell is harmfulSmilie but I am using this just "to know" - for educational purposes!... not for a long-term use.

lets say i have a list..

PHP Code:
set arr=(x y z e f) 
I wanna iterate the list with foreach ,, not with while.!!

PHP Code:
foreach i $arr
echo $i
end 
does not work

please do not give me a solution with while because I already know it.
I am only interested in foreach loop

thanks
