Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting AIX's "bc" Command: Doing a Conditional Expression? Post 302743367 by mrm5102 on Wednesday 12th of December 2012 04:19:45 PM

Hey bipinajith, thanks for the reply!

Ok, basically yes...
For the expression below, $size COULD possibly be a floating point number, OR it could be a '0'. And since I'm writing this in a
shell script I can't exactly use a float in a Shell If Statement.

Code:
condition=$(echo "$size == 0" | bc 2>/dev/null

And for what I'm looking for as output, I really just need 0|1 (i.e. TRUE or FALSE) result.

Does that make sense?


Thanks Again,
Matt
