First, please don't post your question in two parts in different areas of the forum like that. Post a followup to the original post if you need to add something. I have merged your posts into a single thread.
Now as for your question, you do not need to convery a string to numeric with ksh. It should work. But it sound like you variable "duplicate" is a filename. If so, you need to read the data from the file. If the file contains a single integer you can do this:
read num < $filename
if [[ $num -gt 1 ] ; then
If I have misunderstood, print out the value to see what we're dealing with:
echo duplicate = $duplicate
and post the results as a reply in this thread.

the output string. If a special character shall not be interpreted it must be preceded with a backslash.
