Shell Programming and Scripting

i don't know what's wrong with the code, says too many arguments in the first two if statements. how to change it? thx.

the file is like in this format:

Code:

;dfs;dfdsf;fsd ff dsf;dfdffdfd;

-f2 should be only one word with no space, but could be like this 'n/a', '**ABC'

Code:

 while read line; do
    s=`echo $line|cut -d';' -f2`
    yn=`echo $s | grep "\." | wc -l`
    if [ -z $s ]; then
	continue
    fi
    if [ $s == "COMPANY" ]; then
	continue
    fi
    if [ $yn = 0 ]; then
            echo ${line}${fdd}';' >> $DSTDIR/scan_er.txt
    fi
  done < $DSTDIR/scan_er2

put double-quotes around variables in your if-s.

To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.

First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags [code] and [/code] by hand.)

Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.

Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.

Thank You.
