that's really "nice and informative" seeing more of your code, but it's not really helpful (at least to me).
Have you tried to follow the previously mention suggestion of adding set -x to the script and following the execution?
I'm not sure how *I* can help if I can keep seeing more code.....
I just explained you:
I have three if statement with and condition:
It is brief. It doesn't matter, what it does inside.
Everything I want, ---------- Post updated at 05:19 PM ---------- Previous update was at 05:10 PM ----------
The script inside each if statement has 1000 lines, shows no errors. It just goes to incorrect if, even directory doesn't exist and I supply CASENAME "W", it goes under first IF
You can tell us the code doesn't matter all you want to. But we don't believe you. All three of your if statements above test whether or not the daily directory is there. Earlier posts had your three if statements testing different directories (but, usually not testing three different directories). The code above will print no more than one of Daily dir, weekly dir, or monthly dir. It will NEVER print daily dir (with a lower case leading d).
And there is a HUGE difference between CASENAme, $CASENAme, $CASENAME, $CaseName, and any other differences in upper and lower case letters in strings and (when there is a leading $, variable names).
Every time you give us an excerpt of your code, little details change. Those little details greatly affects the way your code works, and every typo greatly affects our ability to guess at what is wrong.
I would have to assume that one or more of the typos that we see in the excerpts you have posted here are indicative of mistakes in your thousands of lines of code and that one or more of those mistakes is what is causing your problem. A missing $ when you intended to perform a variable expansion; a misspelled variable name; using daily, or weekly, or monthly when you intended to use one of the others; et cetera can all cause the problems you have described and are consistent with discrepancies between what you say is code that you are running and output that you say is being produced by that code.
It has been suggested several times that you trace your code while it is running with set -x (which is a great idea). If you would do that and show us (accurately) the code you are running and the output produced (accurately), we might be able to help you.
With the inconsistencies between the code segments you have shown us and the output you say those code segments produce, I don't see much hope of anyone being able to diagnose your problem. I wish you luck, but I don't see any way that I can help you further on this topic.

I'm trying to have the script check if a file has data or not, and then process it accordingly. If the file is empty, I want it to return "nothing to do", if not, I want it to process the file line by line. This is what I have so far, but it always returns "nothing to do", even if the file is not... (4 Replies)
Hi I have a bash script like this
if
then
echo "A"
else
echo "B"
fi
$1 is something like 02350 (there is always a trailing '0')
and I would like to have an if based on the value of the digits after the 0.
Can anybody help?
Thanks,

The problem I am having here is that only the 1st option is executed, no matter if I pick yes or no. What am I doing wrong? How can I get this working right without resorting to a case statement?
