egrep - Help Required
HI,
I have a piece of code which checks the return value for a pattern "Status: 0000" like this -

Code:
returnval=<<some op>>
 
echo $returnval | egrep "\bStatus:\s[0]+"
if [ $? -ne 0]; then
  echo "Failed"
fi

Even on success or failure i get $? = 1 i.e. it never passes ?

For me the \s is breaking it.

Code:
echo $returnval | egrep "\bStatus: *[0]+"

Code:
returnval=<<some op>>
 
echo $returnval | egrep "\bStatus:\s[0]+"
if [ $? -ne 0]; then
  echo "Failed"
fi

should be:

Code:
returnval=<<some op>>
 
echo $returnval | egrep "\bStatus:\s[0]+"
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "Failed"
fi
