Syntax Error while using CMP function
Hi All,
I am getting a syntax error message while trying to compare 2 files using the compare function (LINUX)
Quote:
cmp -s <(tr ,
\\n < $COMMON_TMP/nt_per_gs.done | sort) <(tr ,
\\n < $COMMON_TMP/nt_per_chg_indx.done | sort)
command substitution: line 79: syntax error near unexpected token `('
command substitution: line 79: `cmp -s <(tr , \n < $COMMON_TMP/nt_per_gs.done | sort) <(tr , \n < $COMMON_TMP/nt_per_chg_indx.done | sort)'
+ file_cmp_chk=1
The return value should be 0 as both the .done file contain the same dates. (like below)
Quote:
$ cat /iis_dev_data3/wcc/cpmg/tmp/wcc_cpmg_nt_per_chg_indx.done
20120708,20120707
$cat /iis_dev_data3/wcc/cpmg/tmp/wcc_cpmg_nt_per_gs.done
20120708,20120707
Can you pls help to fix this issue
Thanks
Freddie
