Hi, I am writing a small script that reads a number from a file, increments
it with one and writes it back to the file.
If i write this as a sequence of commands in the shell

setvar count 0
input count <myfile
setvar count !count+1
echo !count >myfile

it works. If, however I put it in a file and run the file i get:
Variable name not found in variable table. (CIWARN 8101)

if i do a setvar count 0 from the prompt and then run the script i get
Unexpected character found in number. (CIERR 9810)

why doesnt it create the variable when i do the setsvar count 0 on the
first line of the script?!
how do i make the count+1 work? i tried limiting it to one digit by doing
setvar count ord('incount')-ord('0')+1  but that didnt work out.

anybody?
