Eval occured to me because when I trace the output ( bash -x ) I get results like this: DN_COUNT[$NAME]=98 or DN_COUNT[$NAME]=1007 and so on. So of course eval then gives me the desired result. I'm not saying your wrong, but I just don't see how the mangling is occuring.
Also I did write the whole thing from scratch, which try not to laugh, I will post here. I didn't copy / paste anything. I tend to use the named pipes to feed with the null delimiter because I know C strings are terminated that way which allows for crazy characters (?Maybe I'm wrong there too!) and the named pipe always avoids subshells which tend to trip me up. It works fine now, but I'm sure you guys could reduce this to like 25% of its size! Not expecting you too to that, just complimenting. I just got done reading "classical shell scripting" and "pro bash programming", but I have no practical experience. Anyways here it is. I will be re-writing it with your guys suggestions. This is my VERY FIRST production script, so again, mea culpa. I will get better at this...
And I wan't to say thanks again for your help and patience.
