test wordcount

Hello

I want to run this test:

If wordcount of a command is 0 then echo XXXX else echo YYYYY

if [ `cat /tmp/foobar.txt | awk '{print $2}' | grep database | grep -v `df -k |grep /dev/dsk | awk '{print $6}'` | wc -l` != 0 ]; then echo "all devices are created on RAID10"; else echo "Some devices are created on non-RAID10"; fi

I receive this message
-bash: command substitution: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `|'
-bash: command substitution: line 1: ` | wc -l'
Usage: grep -hblcnsviw pattern file . . .
awk: can't open !=
-bash: [: missing `]'
Some devices are created on non-RAID10


Can you please advise?


bash$ cat /tmp/foobar.txt | awk '{print $2}' | grep database | grep -v `df -k |grep /dev/dsk | awk '{print $6}'` | wc -l

NAME
igawk - gawk with include files SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ... igawk [ all gawk options ] [ -- ] program-text file ... DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1). AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like @include getopt.awk in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path. OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports. EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk @include getopt.awk BEGIN { while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1) ... } EOF igawk -f test.awk SEE ALSO
