korn shell to bash - statement not working

brdholman · #1 (**permalink**) 10-12-2007

Everything else seems to be working, but this isn't. Is it the "cat..." that is wrong of the condition? Thanks.

cat tc_result.txt | while read LINE
do
if [ "$LINE" == "*File*" ]
then
let "files_run += 1";
echo "inside the if loop"
# save current filetype
case $LINE in
"Running Engine to produce ECF File") file_type="ECF";;
"Running Engine to produce AFP File") file_type="AFP";;
"Running Engine to produce PostScript File") file_type="PostScript";;
"Running Engine to produce Metacode File") file_type="Metacode";;
"Running Engine to produce PCL File") file_type="PCL";;
"Running Engine to produce PDF File") file_type="PDF";;
