If you want to distinguish between not set and set but empty, have a look at the ${var-value} and ${var:-value} construct.
As long as you are not quoting $path, you don't need to make things conditional, though.. Your code should work already. (On the other hand, you properly ought to put $path in double quotes.)
PS. You are extracting into tarlist.txt, but using tarlist without the .txt. Also the cat | awk is a Useless Use of Cat. Google for that phrase.

ie. variable name test
I want to check if $test is set
then if there is nothing set against this currently - then set it to 0

I need to check if $1 or $2 are empty before continuing but I don't know if bash has any logic of the sort. This is what I'm looking for - except that "and" doesn't seem to work.

Hello everyone, I'm trying the best way to implement a check on a variable ... in particular I need to assess the content of characters and numbers , I tried on various manuals bash scripting but I could not figure out how to do ... any help? (3 Replies)
Apologies for the utter triviality of this question, but we all have to start somewhere! I've also tried searching but this question is pretty vague so I didn't (a) really know what to search for or (b) get many relevant hits to what I did search for.
Anyway, I'm in the process of self-teaching... (1 Reply)
Hi!
Been working on a script and I've been having a problem. I've finally narrowed it down to this variable I'm setting:
servername=$(awk -v FS=\/ '{ print $7 } blah.txt | sed 's\/./-/g' | awk -v FS=\- '{print $1}')"
This will essentially pare down a line like this:

Hi,
Will following set up work in bash script? I've got errors if assigning following binary command to a variable. But on the other hand, COMMAND="ls" works. Any explanation please? How can I assign binary command to a variable COMMAND then I can just call ${COMMAND}?

LEARN ABOUT PHP
ziparchive.addfile
ZIPARCHIVE.ADDFILE(3) 1 ZIPARCHIVE.ADDFILE(3)ZipArchive::addFile - Adds a file to a ZIP archive from the given path
SYNOPSIS
bool ZipArchive::addFile NULL (string $filename, [string $localname], [int $start], [int $length])
DESCRIPTION
Adds a file to a ZIP archive from a given path.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- The path to the file to add.
o $localname
- If supplied, this is the local name inside the ZIP archive that will override the $filename.
o $start
- This parameter is not used but is required to extend ZipArchive.
o $length
- This parameter is not used but is required to extend ZipArchive.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
This example opens a ZIP file archive test.zip and add the file /path/to/index.txt. as newname.txt.
Example #1
Open and add
<?php
$zip = new ZipArchive;
if ($zip->open('test.zip') === TRUE) {
$zip->addFile('/path/to/index.txt', 'newname.txt');
$zip->close();
echo 'ok';
} else {
echo 'failed';
}
?>
NOTES
Note
When a file is set to be added to the archive, PHP will lock the file. The lock is only released once the ZipArchive object has
been closed, either via ZipArchive::close or the ZipArchive object being destroyed. This may prevent you from being able to delete
the file being added until after the lock has been released.
