Thanks, I'll give this a try as well.

I have a simple script to log network connectivity to a set of systems.

However, as expected the date appended to the log never changes because the new variable is lost when the loop starts again....

Thank you. I will give this a try.

Thanks for your reply.

I don't think the grep -f option will work in this case because I'm grepping on stdout from the at command and not to inside of a file during the loop.

Can you give me an...

Thanks for this code.

Although it's not quite what I'm looking for it's definitely a more portable way of doing things.

The code you proposed results in the following output:

Thank you.

If I use the code below without the double and single quotes Test Name is invalid.


if [[ "$givenName" =~ ^[A-Z]([a-z]|[A-Za-z])+\s+[A-Z]([a-z]|[A-Za-z])+(-[A-Z]([a-z]|[A-Za-z])+)*$ ]]
then

I'm having the same issue in this regex. if I remove the quotes in this one then
something like Test Name comes back as invalid whereas in bash 3.2 Test Name would be valid but test name would be...
