checking for non-zero value

I have a process that spits out a file called sqlplus.out, here is what the result looks like:

Quote:

$ cat sqlplus.out

MAX_ID-LAST_ID
--------------
0

Currently the value you see is zero, what I need to do is perform an action if that value is non-zero, so how do I check that value in an if statement? If it helps at this moment in development the line with the value will always be on line 4.

Thanks for the help!
