> (You may need to remove a trailing newline from that.)You could also get the value of the $USER env variable: let my_name = $USER This will either be a string or empty, depending upon whether $USER is defined. I find this simpler because you don't have to strip a newline, and it's (unnoticeably) faster since you don't need to spawn a few child processes. -- Erik Falor Registered Linux User #445632 http://counter.li.org
