Bc: File is unavailable
Hello, Unix-Forum!

Yet another problem:

Code:
var=1.5
bc $var + 3.2

results in

Code:
File 1.5 is unavailable

So I must be doing something wrong but I don't know what.

The message tells you that bc expects to read a file, but that "1.5" is not a file. Try:
Code:
echo "$var + 3.2" | bc
