Hello guys,

Thanks very much for your replies, now I feel I am closer

I tried what you suggested, but it seems that I am losing lines when retrieving the information, let me explain:

My script is doing the following:

Code:
log_exec=`$path_ds_ex/dsjob -logdetail $proyecto $job`
#(doing this because need to use this many times later on)
 
numtimes=`echo $log_exec | grep "Waiting for job" | grep "to start" | wc -l `
echo $numtimes

Result for this is: 1


Otherwise, if I do this:

Code:
log_exec=`$path_ds_ex/dsjob -logdetail $proyecto $job`
 
numtimes=`$path_ds_ex/dsjob -logdetail $proyecto $job | grep "Waiting for job" | grep "to start" | wc -l `
echo $numtimes

Now result is correct: 24


On the other hand, I tried the code fpmurphy suggested, but got nothing at all!

Code:
echo "$log_exec" | while read a b c d e f; do
  if [[ "$a $b $c" == "Waiting for job"  && "$e $f" == "to start" ]]
    then
        echo "$d"
    fi
done

Can you please guys advice?
