Need to condense numerous IF/ELSE/FI statements into one if possible.
Hi there!
Have literally just started using UNIX bash shell again and am writing simple scripts in VI.
I basically have a working script but I know without a doubt it could be condensed down to much less code by integrating the individual IF statements.
Here is my shoddy code
Code:
#!/bin/bash
clear
read -p "Please enter a string: " str1
read -p "Please enter another string: " str2
length1=$(echo -n $str1 | wc -c)
length2=$(echo -n $str2 | wc -c)
if [ $length1 -gt $length2 ] ; then
output="String one is longer!"
fi
if [ $length1 -lt $length2 ] ; then
output="String two is longer!"
fi
if [ $length1 -eq $length2 ] ; then
output="Strings are of equal length!"
fi
echo $output
Sorry to ask such a noob question, I have exhaustively tried numerous things but I just keep getting errors which I cannot seem to throw!

rm *11.*
rm *12.*
