Converting from Linux bash (GNU) to Solaris script syntax errors
Original script written on CentOS 6.3 with GNU bash 4.1.2
Destination system is Solaris 9 with GNU bash 2.05 (not changeable by me)

I have a script written on the linux side but now we need to provide a version to another site that "doesn't like linux". I've been going through changing the [[ ]] or (( )) and the == but have really hit a wall with the sed -i.

The script is very quick with the sed -i being used but man is it slow to write to a temp file and them mv back to the primary.

Basically
Code:
while read StaticIP
   do
          grep -w $StaticIP $Full_file > /dev/null
          if [ $? = 0 ]; then
             cat $Full_file |sed "/$StaticIP/d" > tmpfile
             mv tmpfile $Full_file
          fi
   do

This all went very smoothly when i had the if construct like this
Code:
sed -i $StaticIP $Full_file

But now this whole script has gone from 15 - 20 minutes to 2+ hours to run.

I cant use any of the following that i'm used to.
Code:
for i {1..8};   ## this fails takes the {1..8} as static value

grep "^[[:alpha]]"     ## this fails unexpected [

NevVal=$(($myval/$myDivisor))

for ((i=0;i<=10;i++));do somthing;done  ## works cmdline fails in script

locale::script

Locale::Script(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 Locale::Script(3)

NAME

       Locale::Script - standard codes for script identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Script;

	  $script  = code2script('phnx');		      # 'Phoenician'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician'); 	      # 'Phnx'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician',
				 LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC);	      # 115

	  @codes   = all_script_codes();
	  @scripts = all_script_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924
       four-letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant
       that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $script = code2script('phnx','alpha');
	  $script = code2script('phnx',LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha, LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA
	   This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician.  It also includes additions to this set
	   included in the IANA language registry.

	   The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used.

	   This is the default code set.

       num, LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC
	   This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician.

ROUTINES

       code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_script_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_script_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::rename_script  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::delete_script  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script_alias  ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Script::delete_script_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Script::rename_script_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::add_script_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Script::delete_script_code_alias  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
