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

DESCRIPTION
Bzcmp and bzdiff are used to invoke the cmp or the diff program on bzip2 compressed files. All options specified are passed directly to
