Shell Programming and Scripting

While running the script it is failing while searching the pattern if the pattern is found then it is running fine if the pattern is
not found it terminate with error my requirement is if the pattern is not found then it exit successfully.

     cat $INTE/CTY_${DATE}_cn_ar.*|cut -c 1-100|grep 'TXT'
     if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
       cat $INTE/CTY_${DATE}_cn_ar.*|cut -c 1-100|grep 'TXt'  > ${UNI}
     else
     print "Exit sucessfully"
     fi

Wouldn't some punctuation increase readability tremendously?

And, the error messages could stop helpers from shooting in the dark.

What OS/shell are you using? bash , for instance, doen't have a print built-in.

HI

please help me out this issue if any other way we can do ---my requirement is if the pattern not found then it will continue next step

Note: it is failing

cat $INTE/CTY_${DATE}_cn_ar.*|cut -c 1-100|grep 'TXT'

because not able to find any pattern

shell--ksh

Please give us some help! Which pattern is failing? Are you saying there are no files matching the pattern $INTE/CTY_${DATE}_cn_ar.* ? Or, are you saying that one or more files match that pattern TXT ?

What diagnostic message (if any) is being written when the line of code above fails?

Which version of ksh are you using? (If it is a 1988 version, have you install ksh93 on your system?)
