If ls -l FILE gives:
Code:
-rwxr--r--   1 alf      archive          45 Sep 27 11:21 MigBIOS.CR.GLOBAL.0100924021422.CSV

That would make "FILE" a directory?

Hi.

So, the grep should be grep -i "GLOBAL" $FILE

If loop condition
Now its working fine.
Thanks a lot.
Its my silly mistake Smilie


Could you please let me know, how can I put the if loop condition for this?

Code:
if [ `grep -i "GLOBAL" $FILE` -eq 0 ]
 then
   echo "grep successful : GLOBAL"
  elif [ `grep -i "PARTIAL" $FILE` -eq 0 ]
then
echo "grep successful : PARTIAL"
fi

Thanks in advance.

if grep -qi GLOBAL "$FILE"; then
   echo "grep successful : GLOBAL"
elif grep -qi PARTIAL "$FILE"; then
  echo "grep successful : PARTIAL"
fi

It's the filename itself.
