CSH problem

I have a file for which I have written some csh scripts to do
searching using grep and awk. I also have the following problem:-
The user types in the following, for e.g.: 'show ARN COST R-1'
which vaguely means show all the requirement numbers which are
related to COST R-1.
>From this I get back a list saying;
MUX R-10
COST R-3
REL R-32
.
.
What I then want to say is; show me the text associated with each of
the requirement numbers in the list.
So what I did first of all was to pipe this output to a script so that
it would read each requirment in turn and produce what I wanted. Now
I've got a script which will return what I need if I give it each item
in the list singly BUT I can't make it loop and read all the things in the
list and this is what I want to know. HOW do I do this?
