Once more:

- Since interpolation of the variable does not work, as I explained, I suggested that you model your "pattern" not by a variable named PATTERN, but by an alias named PATTERN.

In Posix shell, bash, ksh and zsh, splitting the command line into the individual commands, takes place before parameter expansion. Hence, the shell doesn't see the pipe inside your pattern.

I can understand that you prefer ksh over bash in general, but I don't see how for this particular case, ksh would give an advantage over bash. I must admit that I'm not proficient at all in ksh, and...

There is no need to have the functions in strict order. A function just needs to be known when it is invoked. Hence, if you put all the functions on the top of your script, you can arrange them in...

Be careful with this approach! If you don't understand what you are doing, you can easily end up with code which produces no error and works fine with your current set of data, and blows up or does...

After running ((counter++)), the exit code is 1, not zero, and hence the continue statement is not executed. The reason is that the value of counter++ is what is stored in counter BEFORE it is...

You never tell Tcl, what parts of the string you are interested in. How can Tcl the conclude, that you want that specific part of your line? Tcl is neither magic nor mind-reading.

You can do this, but be careful that you don't run into a race condition, if the script is started twice at nearly the same time. Also, if someone deletes or manipulates your "control file", this...

Are you sure, that the code being executed is inside a bash function? From my understanding of the bash man page, LINENO is not defined outside of functions.
