Thanks, Rick. Almost working! There is one error that I have gone over and over am not fixing.

0000nums: Subscript out of range.

It looks like this line is not properly saving:
-save_3dd_cmd cmd.3dd.$iter \

Meaning this line searches and finds nothing, leading to an error and it not iterating:
set nums = ( `awk -F= '/'"$pattern"'/ {print $2}' out.3dD.${iter}` )

But I do not know why it is not saving! I checked for extra spaces.


here is full script:
#!/bin/tcsh


set iterations = 100 # number of iterations to compare
set outdir = stim_results_uniform # directory that all results are under
set LCfile = NSD_sums # file to store normal standard dev sums (root mean square of the measurement error #variance for each condition for linear contrasts)
set seed = 1234567 # initial random seed
set pattern = 'norm. std.' # search pattern for normalized stdev vals

if ( -d $outdir ) then
echo "** removing output directory, $outdir ..."
\rm -fr $outdir
endif

echo "++ creating output directory, $outdir ..."
mkdir $outdir
if ( $status ) then
echo "failure, cannot create output directory, $outdir"
exit
endif

# move into the output directory
cd $outdir

# create empty LC file
echo -n "" > $LCfile

echo -n "iteration (of $iterations): 0000"

# iterate

foreach iter (`count -digits 4 1 $iterations`)

end
set num_sum = `ccalc -expr "$sstr"`
