It should say that test.zip is a zip file, but the if statments, which check for TAR in the file name, all return true… If I do this outside of an if statement, say at the shell prompt, it works correctly.
What is wrong with this statement:
[dos]
#$bash
ArchiveName=”test.zip”
cur_file=”test.zip”
echo “ArchiveName: $ArchiveName”
if [ $(echo $ArchiveName | grep “tar$” -i)=$ArchiveName ]
then
echo Test1: It is a tar file
else
echo Test1: It is a zip file
fi
if [ $(echo $ArchiveName | grep “tar.gz$” -i)=$ArchiveName ]
then
echo Test2: It is a tar file
else
echo Test2: It is a zip file
fi
if [ $(echo $ArchiveName | grep “tar$” -i)=$ArchiveName ] || [ $(echo “$ArchiveName” | grep “tar.gz$” -i)=$ArchiveName ]
then
echo Test3: It is a tar file
else
echo Test3: It is a zip file
fi
[/dos]
Is there a better way to do this?
if [ $(echo $ArchiveName | grep -i “tar$” ) ]
then
echo Test1: It is a tar file
else
echo Test1: It is a zip file
fi
that works for me. (i’m using unix, so put your -i back where it belongs)
Cripes.
[DOS]
if [ $(echo $ArchiveName | grep -i “tar$” ) ]
then
echo Test1: It is a tar file
else
echo Test1: It is a zip file
fi
[/DOS]
You need a preview plugin 🙂
Thanks Cindy!
That works Great!
[DOS]
#$bash
ArchiveName=”test.tar”
#ArchiveName=”test.zip”
#ArchiveName=”test.tar.gz”
echo “ArchiveName: $ArchiveName”
if [ $(echo $ArchiveName | grep -i “tar$” ) ]
then
echo Test1: It is a tar file
else
echo Test1: It is not a tar file
fi
if [ $(echo $ArchiveName | grep -i “tar.gz$” ) ]
then
echo Test2: It is a tar.gz file
else
echo Test2: It is not a tar.gz file
fi
if [ $(echo $ArchiveName | grep -i “tar$” ) ] || [ $(echo $ArchiveName | grep -i “tar.gz$” ) ]
then
echo Test3: It is a tar file
else
echo Test3: It is a zip file
fi
