Cycle for with for-then-else

Hi,

i would like to insert a if-then-else function in to cycle for

--------------
cat test
--------------
Code:
[root@EmcSanServer ~]# cat test
ALFA
BETA
GAMMA

-----------------------

This is my script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

for i in $(cat test); if [ $i = 'ALFA' ]; then
        echo "ok"
else
        echo "not ok"
fi
done

That's is wrong?

there is a do statement missing.

--
The preferred construct for this kind of application would be:
Code:
while read i
do 
  if [ $i = 'ALFA' ]; then
    echo "ok"
  else
    echo "not ok"
  fi
done < test

Sorry, but can i insert in to this cycle a command like this?

Code:
#!/bin/bash

SID=xx
symcfg list -sid $SID -pool -gb -det -thin |grep pool |awk '{print $1}' >list_vmax_xx_pools

while read i
do
if [ `symcfg show -sid $SID -pool $i -detail -thin -gb |grep "Max. Subscription Percent"` = 'Enable' ]; then
    echo "ok"
  else
    echo "not ok"
  fi
done < list_vmax_xx_pools

cat list_vmax_xx_pools

pool_1
pool_2
pool_3

symcfg show -sid $SID -pool $i -detail -thin -gb |grep "Max. Subscription Percent"
will return some line which include string Max. Subscription Percent and also Enable in same line ?
Have you tested the command and what is the output in this lines where is Max. Subscription Percent ?

If syntax is
Code:
if commandline
then
       # commandline exit code is 0 = ok
       echo ok
else # commandline exit code <> 0
       echo not ok
fi

[ is one of the commands. So it's also [[.
But also symcfg, cp, grep, awk, .. are commands.

Ex. testing how cp works
Code:
if cp file file2  >/dev/null 2>&1
then
      echo "cp done"
else
      echo "cp not so ok"
fi

So something: grep output to the /dev/null - not so interesting to see.
Code:
if symcfg show ... | grep  ...  >/dev/null 2>&1
then
    ...
fi

But you can also test output of grep.
Code:
data=$(symcfg show -sid $SID -pool $i -detail -thin -gb | grep "Max. Subscription Percent" )

# grep some value and if some line include also Enable then okay.
case "$data" in
        *Enable* ) echo "ok" ;;
        *) echo "not ok" ;;
esac

But if line include "Max. Subscription Percent" and "Enable" in this order, then why not using grep something like
Code:
grep "Max. Subscription Percent.*Enable"
# 
data=$(symcfg show -sid $SID -pool $i -detail -thin -gb | grep "Max. Subscription Percent.*Enable" 2>/dev/null)
[ "$data" = "" ] && echo "not ok"
[ "$data" != "" ] && echo "ok"

cat list_vmax_xx_pools

pool_1
pool_2

You of course can, there's no syntax error, but the way you present it won't yield a reasonable result. symcfg may output whatever it wants, if you grep for "Max Subscription Percent" the output will never be an "Enable" alone.
Why don't you grep for "pool.*Max Subscription Percent" or even "pool.*Max Subscription Percent.*Enable" (as proposed by kshji) in the first place and then work on the results file? Or, maybe, that's already what you desired?
BTW, kshji's last data evaluation could be condensed to
Code:
[ -z "$data" ] && echo "not ok" || echo "OK"

For me this is the best:

Code:
data=$(symcfg list -v |grep "Symmetrix Data Encryption"|head -n 1|awk '{print $5}' )

# grep some value and if some line include also Enable then okay.
case "$data" in
        *Enable* ) echo "ok" ;;
        *) echo "This is not ok" > /tmp/mailmessage2
        mutt -s "SCRIPT TEST" my.address@domain < /tmp/mailmessage2 ;;
esac

Thanks, for this help Smilie
