David,
Try echo'ing out the variable in angle brackets to see if it has a new
line.
ie echo "<$ERRORNUM>"
If you get:
----------
<54
----------
Then you have a newline obviously.
You could always use 'tr' to delete the newline:
$ERRORNUM=`echo $ERRORNUM | tr --delete '\n'`
Might want test that first tho.
Even simpler:
$ERRORNUM=`echo -n $ERRORNUM`
(untested ;-) )
