The string consisting of 45 spaces followed by a "1" is not the same as the string "1". To get what you seem to want you could use any of the following:
  • Change out=`cat bit.txt` to read out < bit.txt and use the rest of your script as is.
  • Change [[ $out = 1 ]] to [[ out -eq 1 ]] (with either the cat or the read).
  • Change [[ $out = 1 ]] to [ $out = 1 ] (with either the cat or the read).
  • Change [[ $out = 1 ]] to [ $out -eq 1 ] (with either the cat or the read).
