What do you like to do ?
It looks that zenity give some output to stdout and then you test if stdout data is "0" then you will execute some scipt ?

Or are you testing that ans is nothing ?

give the output of zenity command, easier to give solution.

Code:

# if value is empty, then you need to test it 
if [ "$ans" = "" ]; then
   ./example.sh
fi

or sortly same command line

Code:

[ "$ans" = "" ] && ./example.sh

As in the zenity radiolist, there is true and false. i assume that true is 0, as i dont really know the format of zenity. so thus if i choose the first choice then it will be true, and the $ans will be equals to one...

therefore, what im trying to say is i want to make the script to execute what the user selects, in this case is choice 1.
