From the keyboard of bdbryan@eng.clemson.edu:
:Does anyone know why the following shell code snippet for the csh keeps giving
:me a "@: Expression syntax" error message? Code follows:
:
:foreach record (`cat somefile`) # `somefile' contains simple ascii records. one number
:                                # to a line.
:  @ ybacc = $ybacc + ((($record - $bave) * ($record - $bave))/$bcount)
:end
:
:All the above variables are simple integer variables that have been previously
:calculated. 

Would you believe it's because you've no space between your "/" and $bcount?

You can't predict the csh.  You can't trust it.   Just say no.

Thanks for yet another fine entry to csh.whynot .
