Hi,

if [ $var1 -ne $var2 ]
then
echo "$var1"
else
echo "$var2"
fi

where -ne is used for not equal to but this is not working and giving me a syntax error. can anybody tel me how use not equal to with 'if' in ksh

thanks

if [ $var1 != $var2 ] 
then 
echo "$var1"
else 
echo "$var2"
fi

#!/bin/ksh
if [[ "$var1" -ne "$var2" ]] ; then

echo "$var1"

else

echo "$var2"
