How to use exit status of two commands in if statement ?
I am trying to write a shell script, which looks like
In the above code, i am trying to use the exit value of make command and the (not) grep command to success true or failure, but it is not working since Makefile is in different folder one level above the level i am currently on see pushd, i have done pushd twice neither do i want it to run once again.
what i wanted to do is to print success if the test (make command) passed and there are no matches of word '[ERROR]:' in the log generated by the test. how can i do that?
i tried something like
but it didn't work either
what should i have to do to achieve this ? I am using bash shell

It may well be sourced from another file but no-one is to know that as you did NOT have the comment in your original post.
Please don't alter your OP without telling anyone what you did.

Now, this is quite confusing. Let me try to paraphrase what I can infer from your spec:
In directory ${MY_GIT_TOP}/body/Ue/test you run make test_trinity_svp twice (WHY?), but in between you treat (csplit et al) first make's log files obviously produced in relative directory bait. On the second make, you want to check if an error occurred grepping the FIRSTmake's output.
How about a slightly different approach? grepping the entire log file has the advantage that it will quit after the first match; searching through the many split files will open and traverse every single of them, which may take seriously longer.
wisetracker sorry i have edited it just to make it clear for everyone who reads this thread, after you comment i realized it would be a common question for everyone so i have edited, I am new to this page I didn't knew I shouldn't edit the original post

Hello Rudic,
The problem is i want to ignore some erros in different parts of that big file, so i have divided them into small files and then renamed them according to the first line in the file (as you know from my other question) then i will remove the files which i don't want then i will search for the errors in the remaining parts that are created. i don't know yet which parts i should exclude that is why i have the comment as below
why i did make test twice, i have kept it there for documentation purpose to explain what i am trying to do, i did this which maybe confusing so i replaced it but i still don't know why didn't work with code i have but works with corona688
maybe not a good way of doing this, I have started shell scripting like 6 days ago only, that is what i have came up with so far, I don't know how efficient that script will be.
sorry i didn't know how to reply my replies are being smudged one after other quite confusing layout

is there a way to compare two files using diff (ex: diff 1.txt 2.txt) in an if statement?
I read that the exit status of diff is 0 if the files contain the same content. 1 if they're different. So what I am attempting is basically:
if ; then
echo "they're the same"
else
