Operating Systems Solaris Special symbols in shell scripting Post 302278241 by Ariean on Monday 19th of January 2009 07:21:48 PM

I created the following script file and was getting an error could you please let me know where i am wrong. My idea is to check whether the for loop succeeded in creating or appending data into the file if so display a success message. Though the file has been created successfully my IF loop is not working properly it seems.

######
for i in `ls -rt *_FI.csv`
do
echo $i >> $currdir/finance.list
done

if [$? -eq 0]
then
echo "Finance list file has been generated"
else
echo "Error in preparing the Finance list file"
fi
##############

Error Message:
./gpm.ksh[17]: [0: not found
Error in preparing the Finance list file

NAME
Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Asia - Fetch quotes from Yahoo Asia SYNOPSIS
use Finance::Quote; $q = Finance::Quote->new; %info = $q->fetch("asia","CREA.SI"); # Failover to other methods ok. %info = $q->fetch("yahoo_asia","CREA.SI"); # Use this module only. DESCRIPTION
This module fetches information from Yahoo Asia. Symbols should be provided in the format "SYMBOL.EXCHANGE", where the exchange code is one of the following: SI - Singapore BO - Bombay JK - Jakarta HK - Hong Kong NS - India KS - Korea KL - Kuala Lumpur NZ - New Zealand SS - Shanghai SZ - Shenzhen TW - Taiwan TH - Thailand This module provides both the "asia" and "yahoo_asia" methods. The "asia" method should be used if failover methods are desirable. The "yahoo_asia" method should be used you desire to only fetch information from Yahoo Europe. Stocks are returned in the currency of the local exchange. You can use Finance::Quote's set_currency() feature to change the currency in which information is returned. This module is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, but can be loaded explicitly by specifying the parameter "Yahoo::Asia" to Finance::Quote->new(). Information obtained by this module may be covered by Yahoo's terms and conditions. See http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/ for more details. LABELS RETURNED
This module returns all the standard labels (where available) provided by Yahoo. See Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for a list of these. The currency label is also returned. BUGS
The currency of each exchange has not been thoroughly confirmed. If you find an exchange is returning in an incorrect exchange, please use the bug tool at http://sourceforge.net/projects/finance-quote to report it. SEE ALSO
