Hello, In a script I'm working on called "testit" it calls for echoing the arguments entered. This issue seems to reveal itself as follows when I execute the following. testit a b c d e f g h i j k l m and then I go to echo $9 and it shows "i" but when I echo $10 it shows "a0" and $11 shows "a1" apparently in hex. [question] How can I set the argument limit higher in the shell environment. The shell is GNU bash, version 2.04.0(1)-release (i386--freebsd4.2) -- Bill Schoolcraft | PO Box 210076 San Francisco, CA 94121 http://ForwardSlashUnix.com "UNIX, A Way of Life." rm -rf /bin/laden To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
