Doubtful, since the square brackets are little more than a shorthand for encapsulating the conditional and comparative expression syntax of the test command(check man test), and in this case, test would not know how to evaluate the expressions. In any case, my earlier point about having independent tests still stands from a usability standpoint. Regards R. K. Rajeev > Regards, > Rony. -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
