Full Discussion: if returns "unknown test operator"
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting if returns "unknown test operator" Post 302310427 by 22blaze on Friday 24th of April 2009 06:11:02 PM

TFM - the echo is just for my precursor test, I will fill with exit or pkgrm and pkgadd based on results.
As for the syntax with = and "1.11", I am still getting the error with the following 2 other attempts:
Code:
if [ echo "`pkginfo -x \`pkginfo | grep libiconv | awk '{print $2}'\` | grep sparc | awk '{print $2}'`" = "1.11" ]
then
echo yes
else
echo no
fi

if [ echo "\"`pkginfo -x \`pkginfo | grep libiconv | awk '{print $2}'\` | grep sparc | awk '{print $2}'`\"" = "1.11" ]
then
echo yes
else
echo no
fi

For comparison, here are the results of the separate commands on my test server:
Code:
 $ echo "`pkginfo -x \`pkginfo | grep libiconv | awk '{print $2}'\` | grep sparc | awk '{print $2}'`"
1.11

ZGREP(1)                                                      General Commands Manual                                                     ZGREP(1)

NAME

       zgrep - search possibly compressed files for a regular expression

SYNOPSIS

       zgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename...

DESCRIPTION

       Zgrep  invokes  grep  on  compressed  or  gzipped  files.   These  grep  options  will  cause  zgrep  to  terminate  with  an  error  code:
       (-[drRzZ]|--di*|--exc*|--inc*|--rec*|--nu*).  All other options specified are passed directly to grep.  If no file is specified,  then  the
       standard input is decompressed if necessary and fed to grep.  Otherwise the given files are uncompressed if necessary and fed to grep.

       If the GREP environment variable is set, zgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked.

EXIT CODE

       2 - An option that is not supported was specified.
