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.
