I am trying to figure out like three or four things at the same time.the most I need help with is how to get the greatest number in all the files that I have created on a prior run of my script that created a new file with a (int) identifier to separate all of the files that have no metadata to single them out to keep all of them from being over written because as I am storing them all in the same folder.

one) is now to I be sure that I am getting the correct value in the element, I am only using one element, the first one [0] to update the file by incrementing it in order from 0 ..... infinity. the incrementing I figured out using.

the part that confuses me then most it the syntax and how to I have its value changed by the computer and not me manually. I need to figure out how to get the biggest number that was put in the last file the script stopped at when making them, then have it begining that number+1 when I start it up again so that it does not start all over again with the value of Zero only to over write the other files it created the last time I ran it.

as one should know the value goes away when I shut the computer off which loses the variables value. instead of going in the file and looking just get a script to do it for me. this is what I have so far to try and figure out how to get the greatest number. it is the how do I be sure that I am writing it correctly for it to get that new number inside of the [0] element to start with the last number I left off at plus one?

the Bigger problem I am having it figuring out how to pass variables all over the script to everywhere I need it to go. as I need to get the old array[0] with the new value inside of it to the proper place to use it. within a completely different while loop.

so I'd say my two major questions are how do I correctly write a re-assigning of an int value using a variable with a value inside of it into the array [ element ] other then incrementing or de-incrementing it by using the ++ or -- , and how do I pass it all around the script?

everything I've read always has this really big complected looking "what are they doing?" that is not even close to what I want to do examples that do nothing but confuse me more. I find it hard to fine the simple examples for me to learn from then grow from there in my programming.

I am trying to figure out like three or four things at the same time. how to get the greatest number in the files I have created for a prior run of my script that created a new file with a (int) identifier to separate them all of the files that have no metadata to signal them out to keep them from being over written as I am storing them all in the same folder.

one is now to I be sure that I am getting the correct value in the element, only one element is all that I am using the first one [0] to update the file by incrementing it in order from 0 ..... infinity. the incrementing I figured out with.

the part that confuses me is how to I have its value changed by the computer and not me manually. everything I've read is all about array is mostly [1]="billy" [2]="sally" etc. that does me no good as I already have that part down pat its the re asinging it while the motor is running. as I need to figure out how to get the biggest number that the script stopped at when making that the begining number+1 when I start it up again so that it does not start all over again with the value of Zero only to over write the other files it created the last time I ran it.
