CASE statement

Code:

case $GROUP_NAME in
        "HR" )
                echo "Primary"  >> $log
        ;;
        "ERP")
                if  $DEPT="ACCOUNTING";  then
                        echo "Secondary" >> $log
               else
               echo "The EXCEPTION DOES NOT WORK" >> $log
                fi
                ;;
        *)
esac

Above is my CASE statement and the exception doesn't see to work if $DEPT is something else rather than "ACCOUNTING", it seems it's on process the "IF" statement even $DEPT is not even in "ACCOUNTING"

Thanks

The syntax of your if expression is wrong. Try:

Code:

if  [ "$DEPT" == "ACCOUNTING" ];  then

Huh? If DEPT is not a variable, then what is it?

It doesn't make much sense to compare the text string "DEPT" to the text string "ACCOUNTING".
