In post #2 it was pointed out that your "if" tests were faulty.
They become even more faulty when $FND and $STR expand to multiple words.
You have kept the faulty lines in your latest version.
Quote:
if [ $FND > '' ]
This line contains three errors.
1) $FND is not in double quotes. Thus if it contains nothing or more than one value it will break the "if".
2) > is not a valid "test" parameter. Your "if" is therefore testing the result of the command line containing the redirection (redirection caused by ">").
3) '' is a null string which is also not allowed in an "if" statement.
I prefer to use this sort of syntax because it is robust for most values of $FND and works in most Bourne-type shells. Here we are using a correct string comparison operator "=" and extending the string on both sides with and "X" character to prevent syntax errors.
The "!" means "not".
I've anticipated that you will want the list of files containing error messages to be presented in the email as a vertical list not all on the same line. This is one good reason to use a workfile not an environment variable.

I’m trying to modify someone perl script to fix a bug. The piece of code checks that the zone name you want to add is unique. However, when the code runs, it finds a partial match using grep, and decides it already exists, so the “create” command exits.
