How can I simplify the script
Hi all,

How can I simplify following script,
Logic is to find two strings (strings are case sensitive) from a file.

if [ `grep -x "$1" "$path"/Hostname/$file_name|wc -l` -eq 1 ]; then
if [`grep -x "$2" "$path"/Hostname/$file_name|wc -l` -eq 1 ]; then
Group=`echo $1_hostname`
fi
fi

Please help me on this.

Regards
Sudhish s. kumar

You can do something like

Code:
grep -x "$1" "$path"/Hostname/$file_name >/dev/null 2>&1
rtn1_val=$?
grep -x "$2" "$path"/Hostname/$file_name >/dev/null 2>&1
rtn2_val=$?

if [[ $rtn1_val -eq 0 && $rtn2_val -eq 0 ]]
then
        Group=`echo $1_hostname`
fi

This command is not working

In fact I was looking for some thing like you suggested

Thanks

So are you trying to match either of the strings in your file, or do you want both of the strings to be present.

try
/usr/xpg4/bin/grep -e 'string1|string2'
