IF is not working in csh script
cat tmp0.txt
700000
Code:
#!/bin/csh -fx
set id=`cat tmp0.txt`
echo $id
if ("$id" == "700000") then

Seems like the IF is not working. Is there anything wrong with my variable?

The parentheses need spaces
Code:
if ( "$id" == "700000" ) then
   echo "Good Morning"
endif
if ( "$id" == "700002" )  then
         echo "Good evening"
 endif

each ( needs a space before and after, so does each ) character.

Try:

Code:
#!/bin/csh -fx
set id=`dos2unix tmp0.txt|head -1`
echo $id
if ("$id" == "700000") then
   echo "Good Morning"
endif
if ("$id" == "700002") then
         echo "Good evening"
endif

Following up on rdrtx1's post:
when you do this:
Code:
vi tmp0.txt

Do you see ^M at the end of each line?

I opened tmp0.txt with different kind of editor, i.e vi and nedit, even with notepad and I don't see ^M . Just a number 700000

---------- Post updated at 11:41 AM ---------- Previous update was at 11:40 AM ----------

Same result, it doens't do what it suppose to do.
