------------

improve its performance, do not hesitate to fork and send pull requests.

### Pull Request

#### Code Style
- Indent using 2 spaces. No tabs.

- Local variables should be lower cased.
- Global variables should be upper cased.
- Use `$(command)` instead of backticks.
- Avoid `eval` if possible.
