Okay i've got some code which reads a text file and loops through it and there a few if statements inside where one is failing (the one bolded).
Basically the acc column contains a list of three digit access codes, some though have null records (i.e nothing in the field) so what I want to do is if its not null to carry on to the other loops if it is null to move on to the next record.
I thought -n meant if the value is greater than 0 in length. I.e not null.
When it gets the the first null record i get the following error message
create_matrix_busy.exe: test: argument expected
This is my code so far...
while read line
do
sdate=`echo "$line" | cut -d, -f1`
edate=`echo "$line" | cut -d, -f2`
edate=`echo "$line" | cut -d, -f2`
site=`echo "$line" | cut -d, -f3`
NA=`echo "$line" | cut -d, -f4`
acc=`echo "$line" | cut -d, -f6`
calls=`echo "$line" | cut -d, -f8`
if [ -n ${acc} ]
then
if [ ${calls} -gt 0 ]
then
if [ ${NA} = 'ALL' ]
then
echo ${site},${acc}
elif [ ${NA} = 'NA*' ]
then
echo ${site},NA${acc}
fi
fi
fi
Thanks, the code will do more inside the if statements once i get those working.
