Hi all
I´m trying to fully understand an issue I had yesterday and was just hoping you'd give me your opinion about it. I believe I fixed the problem but I still feel ignorant about some parts of the behaviour I could experience in the following scenario. Here was the situation (old simplified code version):

for FILE in $INPUT_DIR ; do
   grep -q $FILE $PROCESSED 2>&1
   if [ $? != 0 ] ; then
      echo $FILE >> $PROCESSED
   else
      continue
   fi
   SOURCE=`grep ^S $FILE | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'`
   END_RCD=`grep ^E $FILE | wc -l | awk '{print $1}'`
   if [ $SOURCE -ne $END_RCD ] ; then
      echo "Error in $FILE: "$SOURCE" source keys detected, but "$END_RCD" end keys detected.
   fi
done
