Hello,

I try to test some Linux shell script function, and I found some bugs.

Or maybe I didn't know the solution yet.

Anyway, I chose "Shell/Batch Command" and try to fill up command box like below:

dir_list[11]=23
dir_list[23]=46
dir_list[45]=UFO

count=$\{#dir_list[*]\}

echo "dir_list: " $count

: It just print out below message

dir_list: ${#dir_list[*]}

It couldn't substitute to value 3.
'\' , escape character, didn't work properly.

How can I resolve it?

Plz help me.
Thank you.

${...} will be interpretated by QB for special meaning, and right now the escape (\{ and \}) does not work. Before we fix this issue, please create a separate batch file and call that batch file from QB instead.

In 5.1.1, literal ${ needs to be written as $!{
