Shell Programming and Scripting

I am having the worst time trying to figure out this simple little script and I'm about to go nuts.

I have to use csh to create this script for a class and the problem I run into is checking my number range, just validating that the number is between 1 and 9 inclusive. I tried:

Code:

if [1 <= $number && $number <= 9]
   ...
else
   ...
endif

But it gives me a file redirection error message and I understand why, my brain is just quitting on me in trying to figure out how to fix it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Can you post the entire script? Also when you run it, it should post an error message, paste the exact error as well.

I will remember that for next time, I actually just figured it out >.<

Figured out that brackets and parentheses are not interchangeable and that I had my $number on the wrong side of the inequality, hence the redirecting error message.

Thanks though, and I will definitely remember to post the entire thing plus error messages next time

Code:

if ( $number >= 1 && $number <= 9 ) then

Yep, I know ygemici, that's what I posted above your post that I had figured it out.
