Language question -- file =?utf-8?Q?=3D_?=variable ?

[Myles Braithwaite]

 The closest thing I could think of would be PowerShell:

$a = (get-content counter.txt)
$a + 1 | out-file -encoding ASCII counter.txt

Pash (which is a extremely unfortunate name) is a reimplementation of PowerShell for all OS that support Mono.
