Rich!

I apologise. I mistook your parentheses for $(...)
i.e. command substitution.

I believe the real distinction between the two is that
the command substitution places the result where the
$(...) was and continues execution, while the
output of (...) is fed to stdout?

I'll certainly be using this piece of info a lot more,
so thanks for that. Great to learn more about bash.

Thanks,

Ben
