Hi there,

I have written a script to clear out log files from the var/tmp dir. It works up to a point. What I needed to do was to exit the script if there was no files to be deleted. I can get this working on a test script but when I implement it into my program it errors out with a `then` not matched error. I have traced it to the line in the script: if [TEMP ="0"]; then

Could somebody have a look at it and teel me where I have went wrong or point me in the right direction

Here is the extract from the script that I created:

# Set local variables

TEMPALL=`find /var/tmp/ -atime +3 | wc -l`
# Purge old Log Files
find /users/agaff/nospace/logs/ -name "*.txt" -atime +1|xargs rm -f
# Main Screen
