Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting 'AND' boolean not working !!!! Post 302781647 by emily on Sunday 17th of March 2013 10:35:30 AM

Hi Don,
Yeah, I just realized (and figured out one fallacy) that I need to pass it like

Code:
if ["$jobNo" == Null -a "$jobNo1" != Null ]; then
do something with jobNo1

elif ["$jobNo" != Null -a "$jobNo1" == Null ]; then
do something with jobNo

elif ["$jobNo" == Null -a "$jobNo1" == Null ]; then
echo "BOTH NULL, existing "

elif ["$jobNo" != Null -a "$jobNo1" == Null]; then
do something with both $jobNo,$jobNo1

Can you help me in passing these as elif ["$jobNo" != Null -a "$jobNo1" == Null]; ?

Will it work elif ["$jobNo" != "" -a "$jobNo1" == ""]; ??
Also, in the previous script, it was never passing the "do someting" for both
string as NULL command. So I assumed that I did pass them correctly.

Thanks
emily

NAME
XmScrollVisible -- A ScrolledWindow function that makes an invisible descendant of a ScrolledWindow work area visible SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/ScrolledW.h> void XmScrollVisible( Widget scrollw_widget, Widget widget, Dimension left_right_margin, Dimension top_bottom_margin); DESCRIPTION
XmScrollVisible makes an obscured or partially obscured widget or gadget descendant of a ScrolledWindow work area visible. The function re- positions the work area and sets the specified margins between the widget and the nearest viewport boundary. The widget's location relative to the viewport determines whether one or both of the margins must be adjusted. This function requires that the XmNscrollingPolicy of the ScrolledWindow widget be set to XmAUTOMATIC. scrollw_widget Specifies the ID of the ScrolledWindow widget whose work area window contains an obscured descendant. widget Specifies the ID of the widget to be made visible. left_right_margin Specifies the margin to establish between the left or right edge of the widget and the associated edge of the viewport. This margin is established only if the widget must be moved horizontally to make it visible. top_bottom_margin Specifies the margin to establish between the top or bottom edge of the widget and the associated edge of the viewport. This margin is established only if the widget must be moved vertically to make it visible. For a complete definition of ScrolledWindow and its associated resources, see XmScrolledWindow(3) RELATED
