set a variable to be a list of file names

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I am trying to get a list of all the .tif images in my folder and set a variable that holds all the file names using C shell.

What is the best way to do it?

any help would be greatly appreciated.

I personally dont like the csh for anything but here you go...

set VAR=`echo *.tif`
3 
var=`echo *.gif`

or build array like this:

array=(*.gif)
4

Thanks for the quick reply! I have no choice but to use it because of all previous work...
Another question, how to strip the file name?

say myfilename is 'myimage.tif',
how to get 'myimage'?

var='myimage.tif'
echo ${var/.*/} #or: echo ${var%.*}
myimage
