Hi Ryan,
at least my shell is giving a clear error message:
[: 1.2: integer expression expected
and the "man test" command clearly talks about integers being expected.
hope this helps,
Kind regards,
Lex.

I don't know any unix listservs... so I hope this is ok.
I am trying to do the following:
if [ 1.2 -gt 1.0 ]; then
echo yes
else echo no
fi
It alwys comes out no? Anyway to get around this?
Also when I do:
expr 0 + 0, I get a $? of 1, which kills my error handling. any idea why?
