Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to break a loop if condition is met Post 302334140 by rakeshawasthi on Wednesday 15th of July 2009 01:18:52 AM

The below line is wrong
Code:
if [ $f='END OF STATUS REPORT' ]

Give space on each side of =
And you are not handling
Code:
f=`grep 'END OF STATUS REPORT' filename`

properly... What if more than one line is returned?
and grep will return value with filename so you need to cut the result.

use set -x to debug

BZGREP(1)						      General Commands Manual							 BZGREP(1)

NAME
bzgrep, bzfgrep, bzegrep - search possibly bzip2 compressed files for a regular expression SYNOPSIS
bzgrep [ grep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... bzegrep [ egrep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... bzfgrep [ fgrep_options ] [ -e ] pattern filename... DESCRIPTION
Bzgrep is used to invoke the grep on bzip2-compressed files. All 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 bzgrep is invoked as bzegrep or bzfgrep then egrep or fgrep is used instead of grep. If the GREP environment variable is set, bzgrep uses it as the grep program to be invoked. For example: for sh: GREP=fgrep bzgrep string files for csh: (setenv GREP fgrep; bzgrep string files) AUTHOR
