How can a Bourne[1] shell script get the number of values in a property ? 2. How can I get value number <n> from a Bourne[1] shell script ? [1]=Yes, yes... this is half a devilish question... I already know a solution for ksh93 but I'm trying to figure out whether the _design_ of SMF covers these parts... ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
