With [1] comes the more reasonable $ git grep -c -F -e '`' -- 't/*.sh' | cut -d: -f2 | addup 485 $ git grep -c -F -e '$(' -- 't/*.sh' | cut -d: -f2 | addup 2620 $ git grep -c -F -e '`' -- '*.sh' | cut -d: -f2 | addup 594 $ git grep -c -F -e '$(' -- '*.sh' | cut -d: -f2 | addup 3133 So the code bloat and use of backticks are less dire than I feared. [1] addup () { sum=0 while read term do : $((sum = $sum + $term)) done echo $sum } -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
