I tried to post an image. Says a moderator needs to accept it. Ugh.
But this is making no sense. I could be done with this now if it weren't for Fedora deciding it's going to defy logic. The big line starting with Find. Right? That equals 6 for my test directory. Which is correct. That big line is what my "Count" value should be. So I decide I'll write that count to "COUNT". Then IMMEDIATELY, for the sake of testing, echo it to verify it'll spit out the right value. But nothing. It's actually NOT echoing when I'm clearly telling it to. I'm very confused.
Example: COUNT=find $directory -type f -perm 666 -print | wc -l
echo $count
and nothing displays.
Then I was like "COUNT="loltest"
echo $count
and nothing. Why aren't my values displaying now?

I'm writing a post-upgrade script and I want to find which files don't have read and execute to everyone.
I can run a find . ! -perm, but then I have to use a list of the possible permissions (777,775, 755 etc). Is there a more elegant solution?
