Alright, let's call it a feature. It is possible, but that doesn't give it an established purpose or make it especially useful. On the other hand, the purpose of a leading period in an identifier is well established. (e.g. echo -q) Of course, I may have forgotten, or missed, something in the docs, so don't hesitate to correct any mistake on my part.

In the code I provided $network exists but $network. does not
(ie: there is no trailing period with the $network identifier anywhere in the code I provided).


Hm, nor is there one in my reply. I must be suffering from some form of dementia or senility in my old age crazy, because I don't remember making alterations. blush In fact, that must have been the only alteration, because the rest of the script matches verbatim. shocked

I couldn't agree more, except for the last three words. The usefulness of a trailing period in an identifier is somewhat debatable, imo.

In any case, thanks again for sharing the wonderful script! Huzzah!
