Hi All,

I have a function which reads parameter and gets the value from config file.

The entry in the file can be either of two
Name=value or
Name[variant]=value

so if the variant is not present it should return me the generic value ie Name without variant.

I am first searching for variant in the file and taking the count using grep, so if it is > 0 then search for variant else generic.

But if condition is not evaluating properly and is always treating it as 0.

Below is the function.................Please HELP ME.............


______________________________________________________________
function getProp () {
name=$1;variant=$2
var=$(grep -c \b"$variant"\b "$RUNNING_CONFIG_FILE")
if [ $var -eq 0 ];then
{
awk -F '([ \t]=)|(=)' '
BEGIN {
value=""
exitcode=0
}
/^[ \t]*#/ {next}
$1 ~ /'$1'$/{value=$2;exitcode=0}
END {print value}' "$RUNNING_CONFIG_FILE"
}
else
{
awk -F '([ \t]*=)|(=)' '
BEGIN {
value=""
OFS="="
exitcode=0
}
/^[ \t]*#/ {next}
/'$name'\['$variant'\]/ || /'$name'\[[ ]'$variant'[ ]\]/ { if (NF == 3) {value=$2"="$3} else {value=$2}}
END {if ("'"$3"'" ~ /NoSpace/) {gsub("(^[ \t]*)|([ \t]*$)","",value);print value} else {print value}}' "$RUNNING_CONFIG_FILE"
}
fi
}
