I am still blogging about all issues i get during string manipulations so stay on. I am building a 4000 lines long script file to do hell lot of things on AWS EC2 automation engine and since i had got too rusty on shell scripting, i though it is a good idea to keep blogging about my errors( all silly ofcourse)
The issue is if you are doing a If then else with a if [[ “your comparision here “]], you shall have a issue if you are playing with a numeric variable inside the string.
if [[“$numericval” -ne 3]]
well this doesnt work and neither this
if [[$numericval -ne 3]]
Let us see the right way as per below. Plain and simple
and let me paste some exmaples from one of bash shell script site for your reading.
