Executing nested loops+foreach

It's been a while since I used csh formatting and I am having a little bit of trouble with a few things. Things seem so much easier to execute in Matlab, however I need to do this on the terminal because of the programs I am trying to interact with.

So here's what I want to do: I have a file del.txt that is structured like this
Code:
1
2
3
4

etc. So each value is in it's own row and there's one column for all the data. I have a bunch of other files that are within my directory. I want to match up say value 1 (which in this case is 1) with file 1 and value 2 with file 2, etc and so on and so forth. So here's what I did...

Code:
#!/bin/csh
foreach a (`cat del.txt`)
  foreach sta(`ls *.HHZ`)
    echo a is $a
    echo $sta


    cat <<END>>macro.m
r $a
r $sta
END
    sac macro.m
    rm macro.m

  end
end

I added the extra end and now it loops through all of the values in del.txt and each file and then moves on to the next file within my directory and loops through all of the values. I'm having trouble figuring out the format that this should be in to match up the correct values. I'm not doing much within the script yet until I can get them to match up. Please help Smilie Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers,

K
