i need diff understanding :)

Can someone tell me where i'm going wrong


Code:

if [ "$file1" \< "$file2" ]; then                 
     set outPut = diff "$file1" "$file2" | wc -l
     echo $file1 $file2;
     echo "$outPut"
        if [$outPut == 0];then
                echo " "$file1" and "$file2" " v
         fi
fi

This is the following result:

Quote:
./Assgn1.bash: line 52: [: missing `]'
0
file txt.txt~

./Assgn1.bash: line 52: [: missing `]'
./Assgn1.bash: line 40: [: too many arguments
0
txt txt.txt

line 52 is referring to the "if [$output = 0]; then"
and line 40 refers "if [ ! -f $file2 ]; then" which is not listed.
