BlankHi all: what am I doing worng here? Here is my script:
[...]
count=$(#check)
count=${#check}
With parentheses, the shell is interpreting "#check" as a command,
which is a commented-out line. With braces, it's a parameter
evaluation.
I haven't checked if anything else in the script is incorrect.
