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.

Dt/Wsm.h(file formats)													    Dt/Wsm.h(file formats)

NAME

       Dt/Wsm.h -- workspace manager definitions

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Dt/Wsm.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The Dt/Wsm.h header defines structures and function prototypes for workspace management services.

       The DtWsmWorkspaceInfo structure contains at least the following members:

       Atom		  workspace	     X atom name for the workspace
       unsigned long	  bg		     Backdrop background pixel
       unsigned long	  fg		     Backdrop foreground pixel
       Atom		  backdropName	     X atom name for backdrop
       int		  colorSetId	     Number of color set used
       char		  *pchTitle	     Title of workspace
       Window		  backdropWindow     The  backdrop  window for the
					     current workspace

       The DtWsmCBContext structure is opaque. Workspace management functions that add callbacks to uniquely identify callback functions for later
       removal, return the DtWsmCBContext structure.

       The header defines the following DtWsmWsReason constants:

       DtWSM_REASON_ADD
       DtWSM_REASON_DELETE
       DtWSM_REASON_BACKDROP
       DtWSM_REASON_TITLE
       DtWSM_REASON_CURRENT

       The header defines the following functions:

       DtWsmCBContext
       DtWsmAddCurrentWorkspaceCallback(Widget widget,
	       DtWsmWsChangeProc ws_change,
	       Pointer client_data);

       void DtWsmAddWorkspaceFunctions(Display *display,
	       Window window);

       void DtWsmRemoveWorkspaceFunctions(Display *display,
	       Window window);

       DtWsmCBContext
       DtWsmAddWorkspaceModifiedCallback(Widget widget,
	       DtWsmWsModifiedProc ws_change,
	       Pointer client_data);

       void DtWsmRemoveWorkspaceCallback(DtWsmCBContext context);

       void DtWsmFreeWorkspaceInfo(DtWsmWorkspaceInfo *pWsInfo);

       Status DtWsmGetCurrentBackdropWindows(Display *display,
	       Window root);

       Status DtWsmGetCurrentWorkspace(Display *display,
	       Window root,
	       Atom *paWorkspace);

       Status DtWsmSetCurrentWorkspace(Widget widget,
	       Atom aWorkspace);

       Status DtWsmGetWorkspaceInfo(Display *display,
	       Window root,
	       Atom aWorkspace,
	       DtWsmWorkspaceInfo **ppWsInfo);

       Status DtWsmGetWorkspaceList(Display *display,
	       Window root,
	       Atom **ppaWorkspaces,
	       int *pNumWs);

       Status DtWsmGetWorkspacesOccupied(Display *display,
	       Window window,
	       Atom **ppaWorkspace,
	       int *pNumWs);

       void DtWsmSetWorkspacesOccupied(Display *display,
	       Window window,
	       Atom *paWorkspaces,
	       int numWs);

       void DtWsmOccupyAllWorkspaces(Display *display,
	       Window window);
