While loop syntax problem

[czarj]

Hey everyone,

I have a small script that I want to parse through all the subdirectories within a given location and find all the files with a 'ttt' extension. However when I run the script I either get "Missing ]" or sometimes "permission denied." The files and the directories are owned by me, so I'm thinking this is a syntax problem...any help would be appreciated.

thanks

#!/usr/bin/csh

set Dir = `find $PWD -type d -print `;

while `$Dir` ;

do
cd $Dir
if
[ "`pwd`" = "${Dir}" ]
then
ls *.ttt
done

end

Don't know csh so much.
But why not simply do this ?
find $PWD -name '*.ttt' -print

Hope This Help, PH.

The reason for this script is because it will have to do other things later. Searching for the *.ttt files is just a test!

Doesn't have some directories space embedded in their name ?
