multiple conditions in if/then
Hello,
I am having trouble with the syntax with a conditional statement in a BASH script involving multiple conditions. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! if [ "$sString" != "2" && "$sString" != "5" && "$sString" !="8 " && "$tString" !="3" && "$tString" != "5" ]; then array=("${array[@]}" "$dnNum" ) fi i receive this error: ./testscript: [: missing `]' |

Did you really have this on two lines like this?
If so put a \ character right after !="8" |

they are infact on the same line, but i did try adding a '\'. I also tried the if statment with only two "conditions".
i.e. f [ "$sString" != "2" && "$sString" != "5"]; then array=("${array[@]}" "$dnNum" ) fi |

The last example is failing because of your "5" sitting next to the "]" with no whitespace.
Your first example will work if you replace "&&" with "-a" or if you replace your brackets "[" and "]" with double brackets "[[" and "]]". Example: Code:
if [ "$sString" != "2" -a "$sString" != "5" ]; then ... fi Code:
if [[ "$sString" != "2" && "$sString" != "5" ]]; then ... fi |
