UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers

I wish to by pass a process if the file is over a certain size?
not sure this makes sense

current bit of the script below

Code:

#if we are bypAssing the OCR
if [ $BYPASS_OCR == "Y" ] ; then
   echo Bypassing HOTFOLDER OCR
   HOT_FOLDER_DIR=$BATCH_POST_OCR_DIR;

potential change below? would this work would I need to declare FILE_SIZE somehow?

Code:

if [ $BYPASS_OCR == "Y" and FILE_SIZE > 1000kb ] ; then
   echo Bypassing HOTFOLDER OCR
   HOT_FOLDER_DIR=$BATCH_POST_OCR_DIR;

The logics are OK, but the syntax is not:
- and is not a shell keyword; try -a (although deprecated)

- FILE_SIZE will not be expanded; use with $ sign

- > is being interpreted as an output redirection; even if escaped will be a lexicographical comparison; use -gt for integer comparison.

- 1000kb is not an integer - even 90 (as a string) will compare "greater". Use 10000000.



Somehow, yes. Else it is unset and interpreted as zero.
