Shell Programming and Scripting

how can we execute multiple statements in
else condition
i have
if[ condition ]
then
statement
else
statements
fi
in else condition i have multiple statements
but it executing only one statement
is there any way to execute multiple statements

What Operating System?
What Shell?
What's in the script?

In a normal Bourne-type shell (like ksh, bash or a Posix shell) there should be no problem UNLESS the statements themselves start a new Shell or cause the current shell to exit.

Please post your code, it is likely not the if then else causing the problem

@ALL


have a text file abc.txt as shown below
##################### text file begins####################
MONTH_20100801_1_IN.txt 2310 1042 0
MONTH_20100803_1_IN.txt 0708 708 0
MONTH_20100804_1_IN.txt 023 023 0
Number of agencies didnt send the file=0
sum of reject files= 0
MONTH_20100802_1.txt
MONTH_20100802_1_IN.txt
MONTH_20100805_1_IN.TXT
####################### end #########################
i need to run a script based on the values of those 2 lines
Number of agencies didnt send the file=0
sum of reject files= 0
if they both are zero i hav to run a script

######### for only one statement ...i wrote
grep 'Number of agencies didnt send the file=0' abc.txt
RC=$?
if [$RC -ne 0]
####some message
else
#### run script
fi
################################
i wann to worte like this if both the statements are zero....

if i put another grep statement ...it only reads the grep statement and exits
it wont run the statements below that......

its shell scripting
