multiple Logical statement
hi I have following if condition
line_by_line="0000000000000ttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt ttttttt"

if [ `expr substr "$line_by_line" 1 13` == "0000000000000" ]
then
echo "Exclusion criteria"
else
echo "Not exclusion criteria"
fi
above condition works perfectley but if i add one more logical condition as below
line_by_line="00000000000000000000000000tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt tttttttttttttttttttt"

if [ `expr substr "$line_by_line" 1 13` == "0000000000000" || `expr substr "$line_by_line" 26 12` == "UA ITEM FROM" ]
then
echo "Exclusion criteria"
else
echo "Not exclusion criteria"
fi

it throws the error as
test_script.sh: line 4: tttttttttttt: command not found

any clue on above error

try this

Code:
if [ `expr substr "$line_by_line" 1 13` == "0000000000000" -o `expr substr "$line_by_line" 26 12` == "UA ITEM FROM" ]

or

Code:
if [ `expr substr "$line_by_line" 1 13` == "0000000000000" ] || [ `expr substr "$line_by_line" 26 12` == "UA ITEM FROM" ]

you can also use this

Code:
if [[ `expr substr "$line_by_line" 1 13` == "0000000000000"  ||   `expr substr "$line_by_line" 26 12` == "UA ITEM FROM" ]]

-o and -a options are used within single test brackets

&& and || are used withing double brackets
