You will want to make $a an array, e.g.: a=(arg1 arg2) a+=(arg3)
As soon as you start using array's, the script is no longer POSIX sh compliant, you have to use bash or zsh or something. Personally I think as soon as you start needing to use array's in shell scripting, that is a good sign that maybe something like Python might be more appropriate... -- Brian May <brian@microcomaustralia.com.au>
