expr is the expression command in bourne type shells. On the WRT, expr is handled by busybox.
expr takes expressions. The most common expressions deal with simple arithmetic operations:
~ # expr 5 + 6 11
~ # expr 39 / 4 9
Loop counter example:
#!/bin/sh # while lc < 10 do lc=1 while [ $lc -lt 10 ] ; do lc=`expr $lc + 1` echo LoopCount: $lc done
Try expr --help for more details.
