It never dawned on me to redirect. => =>I thought about a new process being created, but dismissed that because I mistakenly thought that since j kept its value inside what might be the new process, then that meant it couldn't be a new process since I was expecting that new process to get a new j with a value of 0. That was my mistake. Thanks for explaining it. => =>Now maybe you could explain one other thing that I can't seem to wrap my brain around. => =>If I can write => RULEZ[i++]="$x" =>and i gets incremented, why can't I write => i++ =>free standing to increment i? What rule am I violating? The error is "command not found", but then RULEZ[i++]="$x" isn't a "command" either. =>I've tried => : ++i =>and that's ignored even though : is the null operator. => =>How many different ways do you know of to write a statement to just =>increment a variable by 1 or 2? let $((foo++)) -- -Time flies like the wind.
