Thx PHV,

but how do I use it in my script.
I've tried this one.

for f in `ls -d *_Loaded`
do
        last=`echo $f | cut -f1 -d '_'`
        typeset -i $last
        echo $last
#       curr=expr $last+1
done

and the result is

MAILCHECK=600
OPTIND=1
PPID=11735
RANDOM=13017
SECONDS=0
TMOUT=0
1
MAILCHECK=600
OPTIND=1
PPID=11735
RANDOM=2115
SECONDS=0
TMOUT=0
2
MAILCHECK=600
OPTIND=1
PPID=11735
RANDOM=25881
SECONDS=0
TMOUT=0
3

Perhaps this ?
for f in $(ls -d *_Loaded)
do
typeset -i last=$(echo $f | cut -f1 -d '_')
echo $last
typeset -i curr=$((last+1))
echo $curr
done

Hope This Helps, PH.
