Of course... My own stupidity. It did raise the question for me, what would be the recommended way to 'group' expressions, where other languages would use brackets, like:
if (((q==1)) || [[ $r ]]) && grep -q $s $file then echo "$s is in $file, and either q is 1 or r is not empty" fi I guess this works, but it spawns a subshell. Is there a better way?
