Try running your script with the -x option. You can have the script turn
it on like this:
set -x
count=1
chapter=1
amount=( 50 40 27 36 34 )
while [ $chapter -le ${amount[$count]} ]; do
See what [ ..... ] command is actually issued - that will reveal how the
"[" (test) command is being issued, and hopefully point the way to the
problem.
