Grep SQL output file for greater than number.
Hi, This is my first post.

I have a korn shell script which outputs a select statment to a file. There is only one column and one row which contains a record count of the select statement.

The select statement looks something like this:

Code:
 
 SELECT COUNT(some_field) AS "count_value" 
 FROM some_table                             
 WHERE status = '4'
 AND program_id like 'some_id'
 AND (time_added > 'now' - date('1 day'))

and the output file contains

Code:
 
INGRES TERMINAL MONITOR Copyright 2008 Ingres Corporation
Ingres SPARC SOLARIS Version II 9.2.1 (su9.us5/103) login
Wed Mar  5 15:44:34 2014
continue
* * * * * * /* SQL Startup File */
 SELECT COUNT(some_field) AS "count_value" 
 FROM some_table                             
 WHERE status = '4'
 AND program_id like 'some_id'
 AND (time_added > 'now' - date('1 day'))
Executing . . .
 
+-------------+
|count_value   |
+-------------+
|           13|
+-------------+
(1 row)
continue
* * 
continue
* * 
Your SQL statement(s) have been committed.
Ingres Version II 9.2.1 (su9.us5/103) logout

I would like to now send an email if the value of count_value is greater than '4' using an if statment. As I am fairly new to scripting, can anyone provide some guidence on the best method to do this please?

Regards,
MurdocUK

Something like...
Code:
value=`awk '/^\|count_value/ {getline;getline;print $0}' sql.out | cut -f2 -d\|`
[[ ${value} -gt 4 ]] && echo "body of email" | mailx -s "Count exceeded" some_user@host

where sql.out is the file of sql output

Code:
value=$( awk '/\| /{gsub(/\|| */,x);print}' sql.out )
