Ok... I can tell you that wherever you have a variable name defined by another variable value (eg
Code:
copt${i}=`cat tache$i.txt | ./copt.awk`

), the script will fail because this does not work on shell scripts.

Maybe you can replace it by an array, then you will be able to get the value back.

By the errors reported, what I commented above, caused them:
Code:
bash: copt500=74.778: commande inconnue...
bash: clpt500=la: commande inconnue...
...

I hope it helps...

a friend recommended me to do with arrays but i'm not really pro in shell programming so i don't really know how to proceed :'(

Nothing special:
Code:
unset testArray
testArray[0]="foo"
testArray[1]="bar"
testArray[2]="foobar"

arrayCountPos=0
arrayLastPos=${#testArray[@]}

while [ ${arrayCountPos} -lt ${arrayLastPos} ]
do
     echo "Array pos[${arrayCountPos}] - Value: [${testArray[${arrayCountPos}]}]"
     arrayCountPos=`${arrayCountPos} + 1`
done

This is the way I am used to do, but there are always more than one way to do it. =o)

I hope it helps.
