Parens can cause problems with shell globbing as well, and should be avoided. I prefer: foo -> foo-1 || foo-2 || foo-3 ... foo-999 etc. foo.bar -> foo-1.bar foo.bar.baz -> foo.bar-1.baz If foo-1 is an existing valid file you get foo-2 instead of foo-1-1, but it's a rare enough occurrence that it's not worth worrying about. --lyndon _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
