Data compariosn troubles...

Hi Guys,

I am trying to compare using if, but keep getting some strange results.

if [ "${batch_count}" > "1" ]; then
keeps creating the file 1

if [ "${batch_count2}" -gt "1" ]; then
does not work at all

if [ "${batch_count2}" -gt 1 ]; then
does not work

if [ ${batch_count2} -gt 1 ]; then
does not work

if [ ${batch_count2} -gt "1" ]; then
does not work eihter.

I am using a ksh, on Solaris

I have tried the same permutations using the ">" sign as well.

I am stumped.

Thanks in advance.
Smilie
