Bash Script

[OOzy Pal]

Dears,

Here is my script. Everything works ok until I get to project 09, an
error appears;

----ERROR----
/home/hab/mybin/pj: line 15: 08: value too great for base (error token is "08")
/home/hab/mybin/pj: line 16: printf: 08: invalid number

----SCRIPT---
#!/bin/bash

WORKINGDIR="/home/hab/Business/Projects"

PROJECT=$1
MaxIndex=0
for dir in [0-9][0-9]-*;
do
 Num=${dir%%-*}
 if [ $MaxIndex -lt $Num ]; then
      MaxIndex=$Num
 fi
done

Num=$((Num+1));
Num=$(printf %02d $Num)
PROJECT=$Num-$PROJECT

mkdir $WORKINGDIR/$PROJECT

exit

I am stuck again.
