Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Check file for string existence before appending it with string Post 302775001 by mirni on Monday 4th of March 2013 01:55:13 AM

Use semicolon to execute commands consecutively. You are incorrectly using pipe instead.
The easiest way is to do:
Code:
if grep -q string file.txt ; then 
  echo "string found" 
else
  echo "not found"
fi
