UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

hi friends,

I writing a script, one of the function there is:


###################################
########### Return 1 if has subfolders and 0 otherwise ##################
# Get one Argument - Folder name

Has_Subfolders()
{
count=0
cd $1
for zont in `ls -l | grep drw | awk '{print $9;}'`
do
if [[ -d $zont ]]
then
count=1
fi
done
cd ..
return $count
}

When I call it from another function, the debug telling me that the function return value=1 but I can not see it in my varieable while I write like this:

ta=`Has_Subfolders $1`
echo $ta

Can please someone explain me why?

Don't double post.
