Trying to write a really basic script to do some integer arithmetic and am having a problem with syntax:


let count=1
do
...
let count++
if [[ $((count%10))==0 ]] # getting a syntax error here
then echo "blah";
fi
done


i've also tried using '-eq' for equals but that doesnt appear to work. any idea what i'm doing wrong?

A lot of times when I'm having a problem and I get to the point I need to make a thread, Im so deliberate with the steps I've taken that I actually solve the problem in the process of creating the thread. lol
