Hi radoulov,

It works, I tried both ways with bash (I have no option on the shell selection) and they both worked.

Could you explain the difference between one set of square brackets vs 2 sets and how come I can use the ">" symbol as "greater than" in bash when using 2 sets of parentheses?

Thanks so much.
