[SOLVED] Assign Variable vaue from a File.

[prashant.talele]

Hi,

Seems funny but I am stuck at a point !!

I am wtrying to write a simple sheel script in which I assign a value to a variable from a file:

#!/bin/bsh
DIR=/home/sappel
COM_FILE=$DIR/Test.txt
var_1=`cat $COM_FILE`
if [$var_1 = 0]
then
 echo "This is a Primary LB"
else
 echo "This is a secondary LB"
fi

The ouptput when i run this is :

[0: not found
This is a secondary LB

Whereas the output should be "This is a Primary LB" as the value in the files is 0.

bash-2.05$ cat Test.txt
0


Please help !!

* Spelling mistake in first line. /bin/bash
* There must be Space before and after [ ].
* It should be == instead of =.

#!/bin/bash
DIR=/home/sappel
COM_FILE=$DIR/Test.txt
var_1=`cat $COM_FILE`
if [  $var_1 == 0 ]
then
echo "This is a Primary LB"
else
echo "This is a secondary LB"
fi
