Do not forget that back-ticks are not POSIX, while $() is. Even bash considers the use of back-ticks (backquotes) to be /old-style/. I'd say that such shell scripts should be POSIX compliant. That sure rules out non-POSIX shells, but is standards-compliant. My 2 cents. Regards, Yann E. MORIN. -- .-----------------.--------------------.------------------.--------------------. | Yann E.
