Syntax error in a script...
Hi All,
I have been fighting with a syntax error for the last 2 days, still haven't got the solution. Could you please help me, your help will be greatly appreciated.
In my script I am getting a error in a for loop, its similar to the one as is below.
for v_id in v1 v2 v3 v4
do
v_flag=`sqlplus -s orauser/passwd@oracle_sid << oratest
set feedback off
set heading off
select 'Y' from mytable where myid = $v_id;
exit 5
oratest`
if [ $v_flag ]
then
update the o/p file
fi
done
If the condition fails in the query the v_flag is null, then its giving the error "for not matched"
Can't I use the if condition which will be null inside the for loop?
Thanks in Advance
Raju
