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.
