Echo not displaying variable in If-Else condition
Code:
 
if [ "${x_oug}" -ne 0 ]
then
echo "Entry Valid                  :  ${x_oug}"
else
echo "Entry Invalid                  : " 0
fi

In the above code the 3rd line is not working... it does not print anything

I tried following as well .. but no luck!

Code:
echo "Entry Valid                   :   ${x_oug}"
echo "Entry Valid                   :   " ${x_oug}
echo "Entry Valid                   :   $x_oug
echo "Entry Valid                   : " "${x_oug}"

However, if I put a constant like following it works correctly

Code:
echo "Entry valid                  : 5 "

In fact I am forced to use if else as echo not prinitng the variable when it has 0 value

Please help me on this

Thanks and Regards
Chetanz
