[I've just washed my brain and I can't do a thing with it :-)]

I've tried RTFM, but it didn't help. I need to know how to use a regular
expression inside a csh if statement. For example, I want to compare the
output of the `tty` command to "*/ttyp[0-9][0-9]*" and do things based on
whether it matches or not (i.e. I do different things when I come in over the
net). I've tried all the combinations I can think of, but no luck.

Please help. Send examples, suggestions, magical incantations, chocolate chip
cookies, whatever. Send it via email to ...!harvard!necntc!necis!adamm or
adamm@necis.nec.com. But DON'T send me mail telling me to use a different
shell! I like the csh, and I need to do this inside my .login, so sh won't
help.

Thanx, and I'll summarize if people want me to.
