I am having trouble with shell script simple assignment statements. (using version 1.7.361 of tomsrtbt)
What I want to do is simply do math in the script, like a=b+c. This can be illustrated at the shell prompt as follows: #echo 3+5 We get, as expected, 3+5 So we should do it this way: #echo $((3+5)) Unfortunately, we get 3+5: not found Other similar forms such as #a=3 #b=5 #c=$(($a+$b)) complains about "3+5" not found also. "let" and "expr" doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong? TIA, Bob __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
