Subject: sh script ?
I get this message [: 10.0.10.21: bad number on this code
[ "${saved_ip}" -eq "${used_ip}" ] && echo "good match"
Both variables have valid ip addresses in them.
Why does it think the variable content is a number and not text?
Why?? BECAUSE YOU TOld IT TO.
RTFM applies. Specifically 'man test'.
You need to either read some books on BASIC shell programming or
take a course or two on that subject.
This may sound harsh, but you will save yourself a -lot- of future
aggravation with some structured education. It will also assist
you in getting maximum value from the manpages.
Programming _is_ an art-form. You have to train yourself to think
the way the machine does. When it complains about 'something', it
is *AlMOST*ALWAYS* correct, and something you -think- is correct
is actually wrong. the hard thing to learn in troubleshooting
problems is to set aside what you "know" is correct, and look for
anything that could possibly cause the complaint. Remember, you're
looking for something "impossible". <grin>
Quit fishing for a flame.
You know nothing about my background and years of experience.
I have forgotten more about IT and programming than you will
ever learn in a life time.
You already read the 3 other reply posts and there was no need to
say what you did. You added nothing to the info in the thread.
The thread was basically ended already.
This is not the first time you have replied to posts in
this condescending manner.
I am putting you on notice, your manner and tone is not acceptable on
this list. Please take more time to consider your replies before posting
again.
Any further reply from you about this will be considered as flaming and
ignored.
