I still code reflextively from days when the only portable way was if [ "X$var" != "X" ]; then foo; fi Readability lies in the eye of the beholder; for me this is idiomatic and eminently readable. I confess that I rarely use the "${var+set}" idiom, I don't remember why I used it in favour of the "X$2" idiom there. manoj -- The finest eloquence is that which gets things done.
