Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

Can someone please help me with the below query,

I have a list of country codes in an array 'tempCountry'. I need to search for the occurence of the string "[countryCode]" in a log.
eg: "grep '\[DE]\' myLog" works fine. However when i do the following in a ksh script, it doesn't work as intended

Code:

tempCountry=${countries[${count}]}

if [[ $(grep -c '\[${tempCountry}\]' ${MY_LOG}) -gt 0 ]] ; then
   echo "Found  ${tempCountry} in log"
else
   echo "Not Found  ${tempCountry} in log"

I get a Not Found response for all the countries which is not true. I am assuming that something is wrong with the way the if loop is interpreted by the grep command/ksh.

TIA

change:

Code:

grep -c '\[${tempCountry}\]'

to:

Code:

grep -c "\[${tempCountry}\]"

The single quotes are causing every thing within the quotes to be litterally interpreted.

You can see this happening by placing "set -x" before if statement and "set +x" after the last line of the if statement.
