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.

are you sure the size of file is 0,can you paste the exit of:

Code:

ls -l /tmp/list

yes, it's not empty

ls -al /tmp/list
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 1 Oct 13 14:32 /tmp/list

cat /tmp/list

there are a blank ( white ) line

is it possible to add a condition on the "if" ? ( as [ "a$i" -ne "a" ] ??

Code:

VALUE=5000
file=/tmp/list

#validate if file exists and is not empty file
if [ -s ${file} ]
then
    echo "IF"
    awk ' FS="|" { print $2 }' $file  | while read i
    do
        if [ ! "${i}" ]
        then
                echo toto
        else
                if [ "${i}" -eq "${VALUE}" ]
                then
                        echo titi
                else
                        echo toto
                fi
        fi
    done
else
        #this means: the file not existe or is empty
        echo toto
fi

thanks you
