I don't know that I'd call it a workaround, since the doc on bash makes it pretty clear that interpreting a literal that starts with 0d (where d is a decimal digit) as octal thereby disallowing 08 and 09 is pretty clearly working as designed. That's something I learned about the bash language only by digging into your question. Thanks for providing another learning opportunity. -- Rick DeNatale Visit the Project Mercury Wiki Site http://www.mercuryspacecraft.com/ -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
