Java test:argument expected
Hi all,

I am getting "test:argument expected" error in the following script

LOGDIR=$XXAR_TOP/log
PROGRAM_NAME=XXAR_GPS_LBFDMSGEN
..
..
..
Check_Errors()
{
sqllogfile=$1
cd ${LOGDIR}
countfile=${LOGDIR}/${PROGRAM_NAME}.tmp
echo "countfile is " $countfile >> $LOGFILE
echo "SQLlogfile is.." $sqllogfile
grep 'Total' ${sqllogfile} > ${countfile}
echo 'Checking Errors' >> $LOGFILE
if [ `wc -l ${ERR_FILE}|cut -c1,2` -gt 0 ]
then
echo 'Errors on errfile' >> $LOGFILE
cntr=`expr $cntr + 1`
fi
}


"countfile=${LOGDIR}/${PROGRAM_NAME}.tmp" at this line i am getting error
"can,t create tmp file"
"test :argument expected"


please help me

thanks

Enable debugging by setting set -x. Run the script. It will give you more details on the error. Also how are you invoking Check_Errors () ?

the test error is probably because the wc command displays its output separated by 7 spaces from the start of the line. so when u do cut -c1,2, only the first 2 columns are getting selected which are blank. u wud be better off doing cut -c8,9 if u want to get the first two digits of the output.

as for not being able to create the tmp file, i dont know...can u explain what exactly are u trying to do here?

Thanks for the reply,

	echo ${ERR_FILE} >> $LOGFILE
	CheckReturnCode 1
   else
	cat ${LOG_FILE} >> $LOGFILE
   fi
}

after this i am checking data file validation and calling load file by giving data file as parameter.


when i gave set -x , and run the script i got this

countfile=/usr/tmp/XXAR_GPS_LBFDMSGEN.tmp
+ echo countfile is /usr/tmp/XXAR_GPS_LBFDMSGEN.tmp
+ echo SQLlogfile is.. /mars/u210/erppls1pappl/mods/gear/log/XXAR_GPS_LBFDMS_200
61103040407.log
SQLlogfile is.. /mars/u210/erppls1pappl/mods/xxar/log/XXAR_GPS_LBFDMS_2006110304

+ grep Total /mars/u210/erppls1pappl/mods/xxar/log/XXAR_GPS_LBFDMS_2006110304040
7.log
+ echo Checking Errors
+ cut -c1,2
+ wc -l /mars/u210/erppls1pappl/mods/xxar/log/XXAR_GPS_LBFDMS_20061103040407.err

+ [ -gt 0 ]

Use the -s option of the test command for checking if the file is empty, instead of wc+cut:
Code:
if [ -s ${ERR_FILE} ]
then
   echo 'Errors on errfile' >> $LOGFILE
   cntr=`expr $cntr + 1`
fi
