while loop is all I need now
Hi all,
now all I need is to make my while loop to work, which might be syntax.
So I have
i=1
while[-n `diskutil list | grep disk1s"$i"s2 | awk '{print$3}' ]; do
echo `diskutil list | grep disk1s"$i"s2 | awk '{print$3 " " $4}'
i+=1
done
If I remove the while loop portion just keeping the i= and the echo line it works perfectly, If I make the i=2 and so forth it works perfectly, so I know that my while loop is not correct.
Thanks,
Steven Stuart

Hi,
I am trying to grep one variable over the other variable
Example:
i=abc
j=ab
grep $j $i
I am getting this error:
The error is due to $i being variable and not file. I know I could do it by putting the value of abc in a file
and then greping it. (1 Reply)
