Help with if else statement...

hello all. I need help creating an if else statement here. Ive tried and have failed so far.


This is the code I have so far:


Code:
printf "checking for hidden modules\n"
for mm in /sys/module/*; do 
if test -d ${mm}/sections; then 
   MOD="$(basename ${mm})"; 
   lsmod | grep -E "^${MOD}" > /dev/null || printf "${MOD}\n"; 
fi;
done

which prints out like this:


Code:
checking for hidden modules
any hidden modules here...


I would like it to print like this


Code:
checking for hidden modules      [ok] \(or) [name of module]

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome on board!

start by removing the \n of you printf on first line... maybe replacing with :

Thank you for your response vbe :-)


so I have


Code:
#!/bin/bash
printf "checking for hidden modules: "
for mm in /sys/module/*; do 
   if test -d ${mm}/sections; then 
      MOD="$(basename ${mm})"; 
      lsmod | grep -E "^${MOD}" > /dev/null || printf "[found hidden module] \n${MOD}\n"; 
   fi;
done

which works as expected. Problem is that:
1) if it doesn't find any modules, i cant figure out with this particular command how to make it say [ok] insted of
[found hidden module]
diamorphine
2) if it doesnt find any modules, it doesn't return a new line. Which would be solved also if I could figure out 1) !
