  12. Does anyone know why the following shell code snippet for the csh keeps giving
  13. me a "@: Expression syntax" error message? Code follows:
  14.  
  15. foreach record (`cat somefile`) # `somefile' contains simple ascii records. one number
  16.                                 # to a line.
  17.   @ ybacc = $ybacc + ((($record - $bave) * ($record - $bave))/$bcount)
  18. end
  19.  
  20. All the above variables are simple integer variables that have been previously
  21. calculated. 
  22.  
  23. Any help would be most welcome. Thanks much.
  24.
