Hello there,

Thanks both for the quick reply. I tried using (( C +=1 )) and it kept throwing a syntax error at me. I was just not sure why.

I am curious though. Functions like
Code:
$(( ls - l ))

as well doesnt work for me. It keep throwing the syntax error saying `(' unexpected whenever i use something like that.

Help is appreciated.

Thanks.
