What is still wrong here

Bourne shell expands variables to their contents before evaluating.
Thus, the above assignment ends up expanding to '0=1'. Leave out the $
on the target variable, and it becomes 'flag_count=1', which is more
likely what you intended.


i) action="installworld"; flag_count=$((flag_count+1));;

But when tested it just put 1 into flag_count. it is not adding one to the value all ready in flag_count.

Stilling missing the point here
I want to perform math here. if more than one flag is coded them I want the count to increase by 1 for each flag on the command, not change the contents of the count to 1.

Again take note this is .sh shell type.
