Help in tcsh script

Hi All,
I wrote a tcsh script, but being a beginner it took me lots of efforts and on top of that I am still struggling with little modifications here and there.
kindly have a loop.

Line1 : I want it to run maximum of "Max" Which I am providing outside loop. So how the "for" should be modified,
Code:
foreach i in (0 1 2 3 .. $Max)  ????

Lin2 : I want this pause to be set as default

Line3: The "file$" is increasing each time, in the end of the loop I want to set this as default 1, i.e "file1"

Thanks in advance
Pooja


Code:
#!/bin/tcsh 
set TARGETPATH=$2
set Max=3
set Card='card_Data2011AB_Zee_40GeV'

#Function Loop                                                                                                                                                         
LINE 1 foreach i (0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7)
    echo "SHELL SCRIPTING ================ $i =============="
    cp $FILE $TARGETPATH

    if ( $i == 0 ) then
    source $TARGETPATH
    echo 'Press [Enter] key to continue...'
  LINE2  set thisvar = $<
    rm $TARGETPATH

    else if ( $i < $Max ) then
        perl -i.bak -pe 's/(file)(\d{1,})/$1 . (1 + $2)/ge' $Card
        cp $FILE $TARGETPATH
        source $TARGETPATH
        echo 'Press [Enter] key to continue...'
    set thisvar = $<
        rm $TARGETPATH

        else if ( $i == $Max ) then
LINE3           perl -pi.bak -e 's/file/file1/g' $Card                                                                                                                     
            echo "Its About To Terminate...Enjoy Scripting"
    endif
end

I'd recommend to abandon tcsh (or any other *csh) and learn shell that is worth its salt (e.g. bash, ksh, zsh, ...)

Hi,
thanks for the reply and for the link.
Even, I am more happier and comfortable with bash script.
Unfortunately, I have to run script on some remote machine where I am afraid only have tcsh SHELL
My little knowledge says it its UNIX machine, so both SHELL should be there. I am not sure if I can change the SHELL of some remote machine?

Thanks
Pooja

Just change the first line to a different shebang:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

or
Code:
#!/bin/sh

for bourne shell.

Unfortunately, I did not help.
I wrote the test script in my laptop with bash SHELL. and when I shifted it to the remote machine. It failed to work.
Actually, those machine are not usual one and the default environment settings pick the tcsh shell.
So I started from scratch and tryign to make it work it for tcsh.

Thanks,
Pooja

What exactly do you mean "It failed to work"? Was there an error message? Post your bash version.
Check whether bash is really where I assumed it to be:
Code:
ls /bin/bash

If you let us know what system are you on, your chances for getting accurate help will be much higher than us having to guess.
Code:
uname -a

You don't have to care what the login shell is. The shebang line is what is used to run the script, and your machine does have sh. It must have one somewhere, too many things in UNIX demand it internally.

If you don't know where it is, which sh or whereis sh
