hi,

i have some trouble getting a loop started

foreach i (`cat liste.txt`)
rm $i
end

foreach: No Match.

what am i doing wrong?
liste.txt is a file which contains filenames in the directory .. all
rights are set, but it doesn=B4t work

If you have 'sane' filenames in liste.txt you could also simply go

rm -f `cat liste.txt`

@ Mairizio
I am using the csh

A Unix with no /bin/sh, or /bin/ksh?
Strange that it works at all...

There is no modern Unix system without /bin/sh (except perhaps some
minimal or embeded installations). Most wouldn't run without it.

What are you using?
