variable into file

pppswing · #1 (**permalink**) 07-02-2008

Hello,

I have a variable and I want to add this variable in a file (not to erase the file, only add, I guess >>).

Code:

 
#config
server="<server>Hostname</server>"
myfile=myfile.xml
net=true

if [net] then
echo $server >> $myfile
fi

I have a "syntax error near unexpected token fi".

Few points here:

- It should be $net to be tested
- It should be used like this:

Code:

        if $net
        then
        echo $server>> $myfile
        fi

use a semicolon after if statement or put then in the next line. The problem is coming beacuse of that only.
give a space before and after net in the if statement like this
if [ $net ];
then
Thanks
