In article <3022@idunno.Princeton.EDU> I write:

Oops, that's not all necessary.

rm {~/tex,~/tax,~/foo}/*.{aux,dvi,log,toc}

Someone pointed that out to me in email.  I thought csh would give a
'no match' if you did "ls *.c *.aosfdji" if it found some .c files but no
.aosfdji files.

If this is all the original poster wanted to do, this is much better
than the sh script.  I thought it was just an example.

(csh programming still sucks though)
