incr - Increment the value of a variable
SYNOPSIS
incr varName ?increment?
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
Increments the value stored in the variable whose name is varName. The value of the variable must be an integer. If increment is supplied
then its value (which must be an integer) is added to the value of variable varName; otherwise 1 is added to varName. The new value is
stored as a decimal string in variable varName and also returned as result.
EXAMPLES
Add one to the contents of the variable x:
incr x
Add 42 to the contents of the variable x:
incr x 42
Add the contents of the variable y to the contents of the variable x:
incr x $y
Add nothing at all to the variable x (often useful for checking whether an argument to a procedure is actually numeric and generating an
error if it is not):
incr x 0

set - Read and write variables
SYNOPSIS
set varName ?value?
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
Returns the value of variable varName. If value is specified, then set the value of varName to value, creating a new variable if one
doesn't already exist, and return its value. If varName contains an open parenthesis and ends with a close parenthesis, then it refers to
an array element: the characters before the first open parenthesis are the name of the array, and the characters between the parentheses
are the index within the array. Otherwise varName refers to a scalar variable. Normally, varName is unqualified (does not include the
names of any containing namespaces), and the variable of that name in the current namespace is read or written. If varName includes names-
pace qualifiers (in the array name if it refers to an array element), the variable in the specified namespace is read or written.
If no procedure is active, then varName refers to a namespace variable (global variable if the current namespace is the global namespace).
If a procedure is active, then varName refers to a parameter or local variable of the procedure unless the global command was invoked to
declare varName to be global, or unless a variable command was invoked to declare varName to be a namespace variable.

I have a variable with a value of "05". When I add one to that variable, using the command: CURR_YY=`expr $CURR_YY + 1`, I get the value of "6", losing the leading zero (which is needed for passing to another script). How do I keep the leading zero?
Thank you! (10 Replies)
Hi all
I have a variable called "variable" and is of the form
variable ="AAA BBB CCC DDD" {basically it has values separated by spaces}
What is the simplest way to check if "variable" has more that one value in its list?
Thanks. (9 Replies)
I would like to know the maximum integer that a variable can hold. Actually one of my variable holds value 2231599773 and hence the script fails to process it.Do we have any other data type or options available to handle this long integers? (9 Replies)
p="-e"
echo $p
It is not returning the value "-e" stored. Instead returns null.
I am wondering how could this happen. Please help me out.I tried all possibilities like p='-e' | p="\-e". Nothing seems to work.
