test wordcount

Hello

I want to run this test:

If wordcount of a command is 0 then echo XXXX else echo YYYYY

if [ `cat /tmp/foobar.txt | awk '{print $2}' | grep database | grep -v `df -k |grep /dev/dsk | awk '{print $6}'` | wc -l` != 0 ]; then echo "all devices are created on RAID10"; else echo "Some devices are created on non-RAID10"; fi

I receive this message
-bash: command substitution: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `|'
-bash: command substitution: line 1: ` | wc -l'
Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .
awk: can't open !=
-bash: [: missing `]'
Some devices are created on non-RAID10


Can you please advise?


bash$ cat /tmp/foobar.txt | awk '{print $2}' | grep database | grep -v `df -k |grep /dev/dsk | awk '{print $6}'` | wc -l

ZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							  ZGREP(1)

NAME
zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Zgrep invokes grep on compressed or gzipped files. These grep options will cause zgrep to terminate with an error code: (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*). All other options specified are passed directly to grep. If no file is specified, then the standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep. Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. EXIT CODE
2 - An option that is not supported was specified. AUTHOR
