IDL batchfile as a linux script? [message #58716]

Hello everyone,

I am probably trying to use IDL batch files in a strange way.
What I am trying to do is as follows:
1. I have a bunch of files 1.txt, 2.txt, ..., 500.txt in a folder.
2. I will make some calculation, and get a result i, which is an
integer, that ranges from 1 to 500.
3. Depending on the result, I will move the file whose name coincides
with i to another folder.

Basically, I want to put a line similar to "$mv string(i)+'.txt' ../
anotherfolder/string(i)+'.txt'" in my IDL batchfile. Of course, that
won't work for obvious reason...

Another way to put my question is: Is there anyway to pass variables
between IDL and Linux shell?
