Hello Feherke, I want to be able to evaluate the FILENAME and if it see's anything in any position other than the "-", ".", number 0-9, or alph A-Z, to mark the filename as invalid. I thought the syntax for my regex would work but i get mixed returns I also tried ecsaping the "-" if [[...

I actually thought i'd have to define each something like UP=0; DOWN=0; then pull them from the array but your way simplified this.

Greetings Folks! I have a script that kicks off multiple threads that I would like to make sure if say I do a cntrl-c (the script is force aborted) will not only kill the parent PID but any sub process? any thoughts on how I can do this where the script knows its been terminated? I've been...
