Thanks for the script. As it goes to the trouble of sorting all the input
rather than just grabbing the min value, it doesn't really stand a chance
against the AS hack.

Didn't intend for it to.  If I cared about performance, I would (1) not use bash and (2) not use selection sort.  It was just a fun exercise. :)
 

Maybe I'm not using it correctly, but it seemed to sort the integers rather
*literally*:

-->
108
12084
12489
127
1282


Sure, just like the sort command when not invoked with the -n option.  You could make my script handle numbers with some effort.  I think using ((...)) instead of [[...]] around the ${a[i]} < ${a[min]} comparison would do the trick, although it would then barf on anything that wasn't a legal number. :)
