Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ "${array[5]}" !=  "$sample"  &&  $c -eq 1 ]]; then
  # do stuff here
fi

use [[ and ]]

always put quotes around string variables or empty variables can generate errors that stop the script.

EOF: this is sort of the standard way to read file in straight shell and write the output to a file

Code:
while [[  read variable_name   &&   $farkle="something"  ]]
do
  # stuff goes here
  echo "something you want to see in the output file"

done < /path/to/inputfile   >  /path/to/outputfile

you can also exit a loop early with the break keyword
