Further details
Indented a bit better
Sorry I was a bit scant on details.
Well for one when I ran it and it prints out the list of sieved numbers 999 still appears which should have been sieved earlier on by (999 % 3)
Also the number five didnt appear in the list.
Also after it has ran through the (prime % numbertobechecked)
expr: syntax error
./TestFive: line 82: [: ==: unary operator expected
1 file 1
file 2
./TestFive: line 90: [: 1: unary operator expected
After adding an echo to see the values of $FILE1 and $FILE2 it appears that the value of $FILE1 is always 1...
Sorry if the details are a bit scatty my brain has been dumbed down by a couple of hours on facebook.

Hello,
I have some extra time at work and I'm trying to come up with a good prime number generator for very large numbers that can take advantage of multiple (hundreds) cores. I realize Perl may not be the best solution for this, any ideas?

truncate
TRUNCATE(1) User Commands TRUNCATE(1)
NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size
SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE...
DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size
A FILE argument that does not exist is created.
If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole)
reads as zero bytes.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-c, --no-create
do not create any files
-o, --io-blocks
treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes
-r, --reference=RFILE
base size on RFILE
-s, --size=SIZE
set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes
--help display this help and exit
--version
output version information and exit
The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (pow-
ers of 1000).
SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round
down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of.
