I've written a function to print elapsed time similar to /usr/bin/time
but can be called at the beginning and end of a script from within
the script. Occasionally I get an error: '8-08: value too great for base'
It's caused by the difference in these 2 command strings but I can't for
the life of me see what's going on.
now='09:07:16'; startHr=${now%%:*}; startHR=${startHr#*0}; echo $startHr;
09
str=09; str=${str#*0}; echo $str;
9
Thanks,
Mike
