Full Discussion: "if" statement based off "grep"
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting "if" statement based off "grep" Post 302650823 by jim mcnamara on Monday 4th of June 2012 10:15:54 AM

Code:
grep -q May /path/to/somefilename  # silently check for the word May
if [ $? - eq 0 ] ; then                     # it has the word May in the file
   mv /path/to/somefilename   /new/path/to/somefilename
else
   rm /path/to/somefilename            #delete the file
fi

I have a feeling that you should tell us what you want to do not how you decided to do it. For example, how did you come up with the search word: May? Will you need to run the ocde sometime later and have Jun as the search word?

udm_find

UDM_FIND(3)								 1							       UDM_FIND(3)

udm_find - Perform search

SYNOPSIS

       resource udm_find (resource  $agent, string  $query)

DESCRIPTION

	Performs a search.

	The search itself. The first argument - session, the next one - query itself. To find something just type words you want to find and press
       SUBMIT button. For example, "mysql odbc". You should not use quotes " in query, they are written here only to divide  a	query  from  other
       text.  mnoGoSearch  will find all documents that contain word "mysql" and/or word "odbc". Best documents having bigger weights will be dis-
       played first. If you use search mode ALL, search will return documents that contain both (or more) words you entered. In case you use  mode
       ANY,  the  search  will	return	list of documents that contain any of the words you entered. If you want more advanced results you may use
       query language. You should select "bool" match mode in the search from.

PARAMETERS

	      o $agent
		- A link to Agent, received after call to udm_alloc_agent(3).

	      o $query
		- mnoGoSearch understands the following boolean operators:  & - logical AND. For example, "mysql & odbc".  mnoGoSearch	will  find
		any  URLs  that  contain  both "mysql" and "odbc".  | - logical OR. For example "mysql|odbc". mnoGoSearch will find any URLs, that
		contain word "mysql" or word "odbc".  ~ - logical NOT. For example "mysql & ~odbc". mnoGoSearch will find URLs that  contain  word
		"mysql"  and  do  not  contain word "odbc" at the same time. Note that ~ just excludes given word from results. Query "~odbc" will
		find nothing!  () - group command to compose more complex queries. For example "(mysql | msql) &  ~postgres".  Query  language	is
		simple and powerful at the same time. Just consider query as usual boolean expression.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a result link identifier on success or FALSE on failure.
