Hi, I am wondering what the reasoning might be for this seeming inconsistence.
> i=08 > if [ $i -lt 9 ] ; then echo ok; fi ok > if [ $((i)) -lt 9 ] ; then echo ok; fi bash: 08: value too great for base (error token is "08") Why is 08 not tried to be interpreted as octal when *numerically* compared using test?
