Shell script question
 
I want to check if the name of a file($x) is inside the file($fileName)but it doesn't work. What could it be ?

Code:

read x
       
awk '{ print $2 }' $fileName | grep -i $x
       
       
if [ $? -gt 0 ]
then
       
 do that

else
       
 do this
       
fi

Cheers

just found out that the solution to my problem was to check if the command exit statue was equal to 0.

if [ $? -eq 0 ]


Bye
