Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting 'AND' boolean not working !!!! Post 302781645 by Don Cragun on Sunday 17th of March 2013 10:27:35 AM

There is no "List of jobs Cancelled" line in your input file, so jobNo1 will be set to an empty string. You never set jobNo2 in this script, so it will also be an empty string. So why do you believe the output is failing? Both "$jobNo1" = "" and "$jobNo2" = "" should be true with the given input.

Note that if you used the commented out elif statement, you would still get the same output; there aren't any "Jobs with Wrapper" lines in your input file with a non-zero Exit Code either. Therefore, jobNo will also be set to an empty string in this script.
