Looping question - Shell Programming and Scripting

hemangjani · #1 02-23-2006

Hi,

I have series of data stored in a variable xyz:
(between 0 and 100)
example:
20 45 98 21.....

I need to find if there is/are any occurance of data > 95

Not sure what kind of looping is required to check.

Please help.
thanks

Using ksh and, if I'm reading your question correctly, xyz="20 45 98 21" simply

Code:

for N in $xyz
do
    if [ $N -gt 95 ]
    then
        echo "$N is greater than 95"
    fi
done

You can add an index if you need to know WHAT value(s) are greater than 95

Code:

I=0
for N in $xyz
do
    if [ $N -gt 95 ]
    then
        echo "$N is greater than 95 and is element $I"
    fi
    (( I = I + 1 ))
done
