korn shell to bash - statement not working
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
