[ILUG-BOM] bc and bash scripting woes

[Parvez Lanewala]

hi luggers,


i'm having a problem with the following code...

--snip--

for i in `seq 0 10`;
do
    SUM=`echo $SUM+${ARR[$i]}|bc`
done

--snip--

error says : (standard_in) 1: parse error

although the segment 

echo $SUM+${ARR[$i]}|bc 

works fine outside the for loop. any hints on why and how i can avoid it.

thanks,
parvez
