Here is an example. If this does not help send again ...
#!/bin/csh
@ YR = 0
@ YRSTOP = 13
# Processes were put in background [&]
while ($YR <= $YRSTOP )
echo $YR
setenv YEAR $YR
ncl < demo.ncl >&! demo.output_$YR & # differemt output for each file
@ YR = ($YR + 1)
end
exit
Where the main script includes
begin
:
:
year = stringtointeger( getenv("YEAR"))
:
:
end
getenv: This function is used to retrieve the string value of a
shell environment variable.
I used stringtointeger to convert the string to an integer.
Post again if this does not answer your question.
