Hi Tariq,
I'm not currently adding the numbers, so I'm open to suggestions.
I had tried taking the output of var2 and incrementing (var2++), thinking that each time it would print out '1' (3 times in a specific instance), that it would add those together, all it actually did was give me 1 + 1, no matter how many times the result would return if I wasn't adding the numbers.
I've also trying to declare var2 = 0 at the start of the list and then adding 1 with each successful iteration. It always either came out as 1 or 2, never the number of instances, yet when I do ${var2} it prints out exactly as many times as it gets a result.
It seems I came here too soon, I've just managed to do it by declaring a separate variable before the list, then adding var2 to that variable with each iteration, then printing out the result after the list, it's giving me the correct numbers at last.
