Full Discussion: Building JSON command with bash script

Hello peeps...

I've been changing my script in several ways until I'm good with it.

I'm now trying to run a command depending on the value of a variable but this is not working.
The code that is not working is:

Code:
[ "$used_net" == "testnet" ] && btc_dec=$(bitcoin-cli -testnet getbalance)\
                             || btc_dec=$(bitcoin-cli getbalance)

I want to run one of those 2 commands depending on $used_net variable value! The thing is that no matter the value of $used_net, the issued command is always the one after '||'. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Psy
