Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Unable to compare to a previous value of a variable in a while loop for a file Post 302960373 by RudiC on Saturday 14th of November 2015 01:33:57 PM

REST is a variable used as a "catch all", should there be any residuals in the line read. It is meant to stay empty if the line holds exactly what is expected.
The || is an "OR" operator executed when the test fails (c.f. man bash). The > is a redirector op., used to create an empty file.
