[NTLUG:Discuss] bash script help [not homework ;) ]?

[Fred James]

No, I don't think Chris meant in the loop.  I think he meant something like:
     cp /dev/null score.html
somewhere before you enter the loop.  I not sure of the end result in 
this case, but I am pretty sure that is what Chirs meant, and I do know 
that will guarantee you have an empty file to begin with.
