mersenneforum.org - View Single Post - BASH script segment won't work in larger script

I've tried lots of variations including \*, but mostly, they don't work with YAFU.

I'm still confused as to what the difference may be between a specific variable initialization and the variable coming from an operation. The two variables "appear" identical, but don't work the same. Oddly, I have used this in the past and it worked fine there. I need to see if I can find any of those scripts and see if I can learn anything from them.
