Hi Francesco,

Do you know what the value of $filename is when it fails?
I tried an empty string and one without any "." and I didn't get that "bad substitution" error.

I tried your loop using sh and I can't duplicate it.

What locale are you using?
echo $LANG

[Francesco_13]

Hello,
dont'have $LANG

but it's all spanish

LC_COLLATE=es_ES.ISO8859-15
LC_NUMERIC=es_ES.ISO8859-15
LC_MESSAGES=es
LC_MONETARY=es_ES.ISO8859-15
LC_TIME=es_ES.ISO8859-15

I use Ksh

thanks.
Regards.

>but it's all Spanish

I didn't try that exact locale before but it still doesn't fail with those. What OS version do you have? Any ksh patches?
