Solved! But another quick question

Hi Guys, thanks again for swift responses on thisSmilie. I managed to solve my problem - so thought I would share - feel free to comment. Also have another question. So just for everyone's benefit in the code below I am

1. Doing recursive find of the .txt files
e.g. /folder1/folder2/folder3/a.txt
2. Pulling out the first row of each of the .txt files
e.g. from a.txt take only first row abc|def|efg
3. Count number of | strings into temp2 variable
4. Count number of / strings from the path name into temp3
5. I only want to output paths which have a set number of / strings (only 9 and 10)

SO HERE'S THE NEW QUESTION:
so for the check on the number of / string I have the OR clause but what actually happens is that it finds paths which have 10 strings it it and outputs them but does not look at any with 9 in them. equally if I swap the code around it find the paths with 9 in them but does not look at any with 10. Is there a better way to do this other than split up the if statement?

Code:
find . -name .snapshot -prune -o -name "*.txt" -print|while read i
do
    temp1=`grep "|" "${i}"|head -1`
    temp2=`echo ${temp1} | awk -F"|" '{c += NF - 1} END {print c}'`
    temp3=`echo ${i} | awk -F"/" '{c += NF - 1} END {print c}'`
    echo $temp3
    if [ "$temp3" = "10" -o "&temp3" = "9" ]; then
      echo "${i} , ${temp3} , ${temp2}"
      echo
    fi
done

NAME
extract_font_range - Extracts a range of characters from a font. Allegro game programming library. SYNOPSIS
#include <allegro.h> FONT *extract_font_range(FONT *f, int begin, int end) DESCRIPTION
This function extracts a character range from a font and returns a new font that contains only the range of characters selected by this function. You can pass -1 for either the lower or upper bound if you want to select all characters from the start or to the end of the font. Example: FONT *myfont; FONT *capitals; FONT *fontcopy; ... /* Create a font of only capital letters */ capitals = extract_font_range(myfont, 'A', 'Z'); /* Create a copy of the font */ fontcopy = extract_font_range(myfont, -1, -1); ... destroy_font(capitals); destroy_font(fontcopy); RETURN VALUE
Returns a pointer to the new font or NULL on error. Remember that you are responsible for destroying the font when you are finished with it to avoid memory leaks. SEE ALSO
