- indigodaddy 8y agoI don't know what nerd sniping is, but I'm pretty sure I wasn't trying to do that, nor trick anyone. I'll try to better explain how I defined the variable when I get to a computer. Essentially I just copy pasted from the filelist.txt output, into data='copy pasted into here, which also appeared to clearly generate newlines'

- indigodaddy 8y agoLol OK fine. :) Look, I'm kind of at the level of the layman trying to decipher a Numberphile video. You guys are trying to distill it down for me, and I'm desperately trying to grasp at it. But hey, at some point I may grab hold. I thought I was serviceable in bash/builtins, then I post this and realize just how much I don't know. But hey that just means there's that much more to know and learn.
