I have a korn shell script that does some things that depend on creating and writing a file in a directory. I'm looking for a more elegant/efficient way to do the check than what I'm using now:
Code:
if [[ ! -e ${STGDIR}/${SHOW} ]]
then
print "Creating ${STGDIR}/${SHOW}"
mkdir ${STGDIR}/${SHOW}
elif [[ ! -d ${STGDIR}/${SHOW} ]]
then
print "${STGDIR}/${SHOW} already exists but is not a directory"
EXIT 1
fi

Trying from another system - and double ugh... The thread was supposed to be and at least was started in the shell scripting/programming forum.
Either this got moved here because of the blank body in the first post, or there is some forum corruption, maybe?
Interesting.
This is Firefox on Linux Mint/MATE and the other post was from a Mac with SeaMonkey.
Maybe a cookie/tracker thing?

I am trying to test the output of a file. What I have so far is this:
if ]; then echo "yes";fi
The problem with this is it works but I only want it to print out if the file contains the word "Compacted." The == sign means identical or equal to so it won't work. I tried ~ but that doesn't... (4 Replies)

I'm running this simple little test:
#!/bin/sh
if ; then
echo $1
else
echo "Usage:`basename $0` dir"
fi
echo "The end of the script."
The idea is, to test if you have passed a dir to the script. The problem is, it seems to exit the if statement when $1 is null:

Has anyone got a few tips on how I can test if the file size is 0?

Thankyou in advance. (3 Replies)
