You mentioned that {$num_recs} and ${num_recs} both work -- I'm familiar
with the second form from bash shell scripting, but not the first. Do
they both work in all instances, or is one "preferred" over the other?
Thanks Mike
And sorry for making you repeat yourself (the first email I sent was
incomplete but for some reason got sent, which you replied to and then
the second, intended, email went out and that is when you wrote your
second reply :). I have a better understanding of using associative
indexes from arrays in double-quoted statements now.
