+: more tokens expected
Hey everyone, i needed some help with this one. We move into a new file system (which should be the same as the previous one, other than the name directory has changed) and the script worked fine in the old file system and not the new. I'm trying to add the results from one with another but i'm getting this token error. Could anyone be kind to see what i'm doing wrong.

HERE ARE THE RESULTS
Code:
NUM1b = 8
NUM1a = 0
./magADD.ksh[77]: +: more tokens expected
NUM1 = 0 and NUM2= 8
ERROR- failed to run.

See detail in log file below:

Here is the shell script
Code:
TMPFILE1=${TMPDIR}/mag_tmp1_9686.out
67 echo "${TMPFILE1}"
68 TMPFILE2=${TMPDIR}/mag_tmp2_9686.out
69 echo "${TMPFILE2}"
70 TMPFILE3=${TMPDIR}/mag_cnt.txt
71 echo "${TMPFILE3}"
72 #check db access
73 NUM1b=`grep "ORA-00942" ${TMPFILE2} |wc -l`
74 echo "NUM1b = $NUM1b"
75 NUM1a=`grep "Table dropped" ${TMPFILE1} |wc -l`
76 echo "NUM1a = $NUM1a"
77 let NUM1=$NUM1b + `grep "Table dropped" ${TMPFILE1} |wc -l`
78 NUM2=`grep "Table created" ${TMPFILE1} |wc -l`
79 echo "NUM1 = $NUM1 and NUM2=$NUM2"
80 if [ "${NUM1}" != "${NUM2}" ]
81 then
82 echo "ERROR- failed to run. See detail in log file below:\n" >> $LOGFILE
83 exit
84 fi
85
86 echo "Done ${MAIN_SQL}.\n"
87 exit


Here is the content on each tmp file
Code:
$ more mag_tmp1_9686.out
ORA-00942

I hope i provide enough info.

Remove the spaces around the "+" sign:
Code:
let NUM1=$NUM1b+`grep "Table dropped" ${TMPFILE1} |wc -l`

or use the POSIX way to add the values:
Code:
NUM1=$((NUM1b + `grep "Table dropped" ${TMPFILE1} |wc -l`))

Thanks. removing the spaces didn't work but adding in the $(( )) did help.
My 'IF' statement fail though even though both numbers are 8

NUM1b = 8
NUM1a = 0
NUM1 = 8 and NUM2= 8
ERROR- failed to run mag_rpt.sql. See detail in log file below:


could it be bc of the spaces in NUM2
how would i remove that?

If you are trying to compare numbers, use the numeric comparison operator:
Code:
80 if [ "${NUM1}" -ne "${NUM2}" ]

Or:
Code:
80 if (( NUM1 != NUM2 ))
