Cshell question: taking wordlists as a single string

The solution was staring me in the face and I didn't see it until Jay Plett
sent me this solution:

% xxx "a b c" d e f
a b c
d
e
f
% cat xxx
#! /bin/csh -f

while ( $#argv )
	echo $1
	shift
end



So you must use a while loop rather than a foreach loop. So obvious now
I look at it. *sigh*

Thanks to Jay for the enlightenment.
