Re: [newbie] more help with script -converting an string to integer

[Jeferson Lopes Zacco]

Hmm, thanks Miark, but I'd like the script to be entirely bash(1) compatible
since I don't know how standard Perl/Python/anything else are between !=
Linux/Un1x flavours. Besides I'm just a bash apprentice, learning either
Perl or Python shall be my next step.

 Clue: Use Perl ;-)

 Perl will use a string as an integer without converting it.

 Cheers,

  I need more help with my pet script. Apparently bash lacks
 any type
  converting commands, and I need to convert a variable that
 stores the line
  number of a certain file -which was created with wc-l 
 file -
  but I can't. I tried gawk but the bash script seems to
 reconvert the integer
  when passed by gawk. Any clues?
