    <p>I asked <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13736745/bash-read-numbers-from-file-until-line-n">a question</a> earlier that involved pulling large primes from a text file and putting them into another file. It was supposed to grab every prime up to and including the first prime after 2^32, and for some reason this script stopped working.</p> <pre><code>#!/bin/bash n=4294967296 last=0 while read number do if [ $last -gt $n ] then break fi echo $number last=$number done &lt; primes.txt &gt; primes2.txt </code></pre> <p>It ended up looping through these 11 numbers:</p> <pre><code>4232004449 4232004479 4232004493 4232004509 4232004527 4232004533 4232004559 4232004589 4232004593 4232004613 004437 </code></pre> <p>The original file didn't have <code>004437</code> in it, and my bash will handle numbers over <code>8999999999999999999</code></p> <p>Does anybody have a clue as to why this happened?</p> <blockquote> <p>64-bit Ubuntu 10.04, 16GB RAM, 8-cores @ 3.60 GHz<br> GNU bash, version 4.1.5(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>After downloading and compiling the "fixed" bash provided by jfgagne and linking to it in my bash script, it errored out at the same exact spot. Using the significantly faster perl equivalent from my original prime question, I got some file sizes from ls -al:</p> <pre><code> 11 next_prime (just to make sure this was counting bytes accurately) 2147483659 primes2.txt 2147483670 one_too_many </code></pre> <p>2147483659 = 2^31 + 11</p> <p>The size of the next prime (<code>4232004631</code>) is 11 bytes This holds all primes up to <code>4232004613</code>. I also realized that the <code>004437</code> is coming from the end of the prime at the bottom of this error loop (<code>4232004437</code>). It seems like something is trying to advance, but stuck.</p>

    2. COAwesome, I found my first bug in Linux. I'll implement the fix tomorrow. Thanks for the link.

    3. COActually, it is fixed in a newer version of bash, but not included in all distributions.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
