string comparison
Hi Guys

i need to write a script to check the file structure

I have added the the file headers in the configuration file and execute the file at the start of the script.

Now the function

Code:
checkFileStructure()
{
	echo "Inside the function"
	filetocheck=$1
	fileheader=$2
	if [[ "$filetocheck" == "Asset_Class" && "$fileheader" != "$HEADER_ASSET" ]] 
	then
		echo "For Asset"
		export Status=22
		return $Status

	elif [[ "$filetocheck" == "Currency" && "$fileheader" != "$HEADER_CURRENCY" ]]
	then
		echo "For Currency"
		export Status=22
		return $Status

	elif [[ "$filetocheck" == "Expense" && "$fileheader" != "$HEADER_EXPENSE" ]]
	then
		echo "For Expense"
		export Status=22
		return $Status

	elif ][ "$filetocheck" == "Geography" && "$fileheader" != "$HEADER_GEOGRAPHY" ]]
	then
		echo "For Geo"
		export Status=22
		return $Status
		
	elif [ "$filetocheck" == "Instrument" && "$fileheader" != "$HEADER_INSTRUMENT" ]]
	then
		echo "For Inst"
		export Status=22
		return $Status
	else
               	export Status=0
		return $Status
        fi
}

checks the filename and the headers and returns 22 in case does not match and 0 in case it matches.

all the file headers are tab separated string with some spel characters

the && operatos is not working. everytime it goes into the if & elif statements not into the else statement

How to solve the problem.

psrinfo

psrinfo(1)						      General Commands Manual							psrinfo(1)

NAME

       psrinfo, pinfo - Displays processor administration information

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/psrinfo -n

       /usr/sbin/psrinfo [-v] [processor...]

       /usr/sbin/psrinfo -s  processor

       /usr/sbin/pinfo [-v] [processor...]

OPTIONS

       Displays  the  number  of  processors in the system.  Enables verbose mode.  Writes only a boolean value to standard output.  The -s option
       requires a single processor identification number (processor).  The -s option is intended to be used in scripts.  A value of 1 is output if
       the specified processor is on line.  A value of 0 is output if the specified processor is off line.

DESCRIPTION

       The psrinfo and pinfo commands display information about processors.  The processor variable specifies the processor identification number,
       which is a unique integer that identifies the processor.  If you do not specify any options or a processor identification number, the  com-
       mands display information about all processors.

EXAMPLES

       The following is an example of the default prsinfo command output (no options or processor identification numbers):

	      greene:>	psrinfo  0	  on-line    since 11/03/1999 09:41:34 1       on-line	 since 11/03/1999 09:41:34 2	   off-line  since
	      11/03/1999 08:41:34

	      The following example shows how to use the psrinfo command with the -s option in a shell script to determine the state of  the  pro-
	      cessor with an identification number of 1:

	      if  [ "`psrinfo -s 1 2> /dev/null`" -eq 1 ] then	    echo "processor 1 is up" else      echo "processor 1 is down" fi The following
	      example shows how to use the psrinfo command with the -v option:

	      % psrinfo -v Status of processor 0 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
		Processor has been on-line since 05/23/2000 15:08:04
		The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
		      and has an alpha internal floating point processor.  Status of processor 1 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
		Processor has been on-line since 05/23/2000 15:08:04
		The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
		      and has an alpha internal floating point processor.  Status of processor 2 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
		Processor has been off-line since 05/23/2000 15:08:04
		The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
		      and has an alpha internal floating point processor.  Status of processor 3 as of: 05/23/00 15:47:40
		Processor has been on-line since 05/23/2000 15:14:00
		The alpha EV5.6 (21164A) processor operates at 465 MHz,
		      and has an alpha internal floating point processor.
