So before your sed, you need to test if the string exists in the file, something like


grep -q "String" <filename> >& /dev/null

if ($status == 0) then
echo "String exist, do something"
else
echo "do something else or exit" >> <filename>
endif


syntax neeeds clearing up bu the skeletal is there & a more elegant 1 line job (.e.e. perl) may be around too

MooseX::Types::Common::String - Commonly used string types SYNOPSIS
use MooseX::Types::Common::String qw/SimpleStr/; has short_str => (is => 'rw', isa => SimpleStr); ... #this will fail $object->short_str("string with breaks"); DESCRIPTION
A set of commonly-used string type constraints that do not ship with Moose by default. o SimpleStr A Str with no new-line characters. o NonEmptySimpleStr A Str with no new-line characters and length > 0 o LowerCaseSimpleStr A Str with no new-line characters, length > 0 and no uppercase characters A coercion exists via "lc" from NonEmptySimpleStr o UpperCaseSimpleStr A Str with no new-line characters, length > 0 and no lowercase characters A coercion exists via "uc" from NonEmptySimpleStr o Password o StrongPassword o NonEmptyStr A Str with length > 0 o LowerCaseStr A Str with length > 0 and no uppercase characters. A coercion exists via "lc" from NonEmptyStr o UpperCaseStr A Str with length > 0 and no lowercase characters. A coercion exists via "uc" from NonEmptyStr o NumericCode A Str with no new-line characters that consists of only Numeric characters. Examples include, Social Security Numbers, PINs, Postal Codes, HTTP Status Codes, etc. Supports attempting to coerce from a string that has punctuation in it ( e.g credit card number 4111-1111-1111-1111 ).
