Validating multiple file

Hi,

It may be simple ... but am not getting a break here...Any help would be really appreciated...

I want to validate couple of variables before i execute a command

Here is the scenario

Code:

count=' ${NAME_SRC_PATH} | grep "^${name}\/$" | wc -l`

if [ $count -eq 0 ];

then

        echo "Error Creating ${name} "

        exit 1

else

        echo "Name Created."

fi

Now i want to check some 5 more src_path .. how can i chk that... ?

Say like NAME_SRC_PATH1,NAME_SRC_PATH2.NAME_SRC_PATH3,NAME_SRC_PATH4,NAME_SRC_PATH5...

the paths are declared by me only ...and if the name exists in NAME_SRC_PATH3 .. it should return name exits is 3...likewise..for all...

i understand its simple... am totally blank now... any pointer would be helpful....

To check for blank variables, I usually do something simple like:

Code:

if [ x$VARIABLE == "x" ]; then

  echo blank

else

  echo not blank

fi

If you're looking to see if a directory exists then it's a bit different

Code:

if [ -d $DIRECTORY ]; then

  echo dir exists

fi

Hi...thanks first.....

no its not directory....

i think ...that if- conidtion will work.... thanks alot....
