If you must do this with csh, try something like this:

foreach i (*2)
set g=`echo $r[$b] | sed 's/\(.*\)2/\1/'`
mv $i $g
@ b++
end

I didn't bother to test it, but that's the general idea.

Also, you may want to try the 'shift' builtin rather than that
$r[$b], @ b++ stuff.

So am I, and I'd like to keep it that way.  :-)

                This is the silliest sketch I've ever been in!
