I'd merge them if I could. (Consider it done)
Between these two lines:
decimal=`wc -m test` #read decimal places for test
answer=`expr $decimal - 1` #remove new line character
place:
echo "$decimal"
to see what's really in that variable. I suspect more than you think...
But what I'd really like to know is why you didn't even seem to try the suggestions from the previous post? Was Perderabo correct in his assumption?

Thanks, RTM.
Actually, you should just post the
exact error you see on screen .. something more than "i got a syntax error".
