I agree that this may be a problem in dash. Anyway, there's a simple workaround, the only problem is this line for base in $((cd $home/series/ && ls -d *) | sort -rnt- -k 2); do and to make it the parser easier, simply put a space between the two '(': for base in $( (cd $home/series/ && ls -d *) | sort -rnt- -k 2); do With some good will you can read this from: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/utilities/xcu_chap02.html#tag_02_06_03 --- If the command substitution consists of a single subshell, such as: $( (command) ) a conforming application shall separate the "$(" and '(' into two tokens (that is, separate them with white space). This is required to avoid any ambiguities with arithmetic expansion. --- Cc Herbert. Regards, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
