Hi
How do i compare two strings in shell script. Below is an example but I am not getting the desired output, plz help
if [ $Name = 'Ragha' AND $Status = 'Active' ]
then
echo success
fi
I am not getting the desired output if I do this. plz help
doing 'man test' yields the following:
condition1 -a condition2
True if both condition1 and condition2 are true.
The -a binary primary is left associative and has
higher precedence than the -o binary primary.
condition1 -o condition2
True if either condition1 or condition2 is true.
The -o binary primary is left associative.
hi
what if I have a condition like this
if [ $Name = 'Ragha%' -a $Status = 'Active%' ]
then
echo success
fi
I am not getting the result in this case
what are the values of '$Name' and '$Status' ?
can you can the script with the 'set -x' option and provide the output?
Hi vgersh..
The problem is actually with the loop. The condition is working fine. In this code when the condition satisifies it has to give output an output like this
sble01
ALLTEL - WebOrders WorkMon Shutting
down
success
sble01
ALLTEL WorkMon24Hrs
Running
but it is giving output as below
sble01
ALLTEL - WebOrders WorkMon Shutting
down
success
success <----------------This shouldnt appear here
sble01
ALLTEL WorkMon24Hrs
Running
pls see the code and find out the error
until [ $i -eq ${#wfname[*]} ]
do
$SIEBEL_ROOT/bin/srvrmgr -g $SIEBEL_GATEWAY -e $SIEBEL_ENTERPRISE -s $SIEBEL_SERVER -u n9912499 -p n9912499 -c "list component '${wfname[$i]}' show SV_NAME, CC_NAME, CP_DISP_RUN_STATE" -o "$temp_output"
sed -n "/^SV_NAME/,$ p" < $temp_output | sed "/rows* returned/,$ d" | awk '
NR > 2 {n = split($0,arr," ")
printf("%s|",arr[1])
for( k = 2; k <=n-1;++k) printf("%s ",arr[k])
printf("\b|%s\n",arr[n]) }' > temp
old_IFS=$IFS
IFS="|"
while read SV_NAME CC_NAME CP_DISP_RUN_STATE
do
echo $SV_NAME
echo $CC_NAME
echo $CP_DISP_RUN_STATE
if [ "${wfname[$i]}" != "ALLTEL - WebOrders WorkActn" ]
then
if [ "$CP_DISP_RUN_STATE" != "${status[0]}" ]
then
echo success
fi
elif [ "${wfname[$i]}" = "ALLTEL - WebOrders WorkActn" ]
then
if [ "$CP_DISP_RUN_STATE" != "${status[1]}" ]
then
echo good
fi
fi
done < temp
((i=i+1))
done
thanks a lot
I really don't have much time to debug tthis, but you could start [as suggested] by putting the 'set -x' at the top of your script and see what gets executed and how things get 'compared'.
Good luck.
i did a set -x.. this is the output I get

Can you help me with this..
this looks like your problem:
+ read SV_NAME CC_NAME CP_DISP_RUN_STATE
+ echo
+ echo
+ echo
+ [ ALLTEL WorkMon24Hrs != ALLTEL - WebOrders WorkActn ]
+ [ != Running ]
+ echo success
success
seems like none of the variables in green got 'read' - their 'echo-s' [and therefore values are 'empty'.
therefore your 'if-s' succeed outputing 'sucess'.
Can you help me rectify that. I have no idea as to how to solve that..
you have to make sure that whatever the 'read' statement reads in are valid value that you later on do comparison on.
looking at it for 1 minute, it looks like you're READing a 'blank' line whereas you're expecting at least THREE fields separated by '|'.
I actually have to read the line next to the blank line. how do i modify my code for that. sorry for the trouble. i am new to shell scripts.
the READ part was done by somebody else.
thanks
My log file looks like below. I am actually reading the values from this file. I have to extract the values under SV_NAME, CC_NAME and CP_DISP_RUN_STATE in a variable and use that for comparison. pls help when you find some time.

a 'quick and durty' fix to a not-so-elegate code....
change
NR > 2
TO
NR > 2 && NF
good luck.
if i do what you said. i am getting syntax error like this
awk: syntax error near line 2
awk: bailing out near line 2
kindly help
@ragha: try this..
if [[ $name -eq "Ragha" && $status -eq "Active" ]]
then
echo success
fi
this working fine..... 
the problem is not with comparison as I initially thought. thanks for your reply. the problem appears with the code. can you look at the code and tell me what the problem could be. thanks
pls post what you have changed your code to.
btw, what OS are you running under?
I changed the code as you told like this
NR > 2 && NF from NR > 2
but I get an error like this
awk: syntax error near line 2
awk: bailing out near line 2
My Operating system is Solaris 5.8
Once again - pls post the ENTIRE script with the change.
also if you're running under solaris, change 'awk' to 'nawk'.
