Please explain what you mean first. What was the error message? What exactly did you do? Was there an error message? (Actually, last time i checked, bash didn't have an error message like "i do not know....", so, instead of paraphrasing what you might have seen, show us what you in fact did see.)

I tried Scrutinizers approaches and all of them worked, so chances are you did something wrong, not he. To find out what you did wrong we simply lack the necessary input - otherwise we'd be glad to tell you.

I hope this helps.
